Did anyone checkout what's going on inside the Wonders of Life Pavillion this week?

Wasn't able to drop by today, but I plan on being there Thursday afternoon - 1p to 4:30p.

Looking for a heads up so I'm not too disappointed. :dazzle:



Oh, and before you reply with 'oh no they're not...'
Take a line from Plinkley and 'here... educate yourself.'

Raytheon will be opening an exhibit in Innoventions later this year. They also just opened a game center in Shades of Green. I'm assuming you saw Raytheon in WoL? Probably press related.

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 13, 2009 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate National Engineers Week and promote innovative ways to teach math and science to children, Raytheon Company (RTN) will host a series of child-friendly, hands-on science and math demonstrations at Epcot(R) Theme Park in Orlando, Fla.


The interactive demonstrations, taking place Feb. 17 and Feb. 19 from 1-4:30 p.m. in the Wonders of Life pavilion, are part of Raytheon's commitment to spurring interest among middle school students in math and science through its MathMovesU program.


Raytheon engineers will teach nearly 350 local students how to make snow using fundamental engineering and mathematical principles. The Epcot demonstrations follow Raytheon's Feb. 9 announcement that the company will unveil an interactive, math-based attraction at Epcot in fall 2009 called "The Sum of All Thrills." The attraction will engage children through a fun and educational experience that helps instill a lifelong passion for math, science and technology.

"Raytheon is dedicated to inspiring students and nurturing interest in math and science fields," said William H. Swanson, Raytheon Company Chairman and CEO. "Our sponsorship of National Engineers Week is one example of the many MathMovesU initiatives Raytheon undertakes through the year. We are proud of our innovative approach in reaching students and helping to ensure the future success of our nation by fostering the next generation of U.S. innovators."

To bad these "U.S. innovators" are going to have to go to Mexico to work.

My dad worked for the local Raytheon plant here in Wichita and was just laid off. They are continuing to lay off and they are moving there plants to Mexico. OH THIS REALLY MAKES ME MAD!

Not a big fan of Raytheon at all. Maybe when they quit polluting and trying to cover up. Hopefully they don't sponser too much or at all.
