Our 501(c)3 organization, Registration was created to display , preserve, and educate the public on the history, systems and pioneers that created todays video game boom ,we are educating and inciting learning in electronics, programming and technology development in order to inspire the next generation to create the gaming and learning technologies of tomorrow. We will be offering disco
unted/free classes and or entrances to the museum/ special events to social or economically challenged students and individuals in order to help strengthen and encourage learning in S.T.E.M programs. We will be displaying the history and technology of video gaming along with its creators/developers/innovators as well as companies that have transformed video gaming into the phenomenon that it has grown into today. Each grouping of systems will have an interactive display that will allow the patrons to select a system and then select a game from the system and play it or challenge a friend. Also we will be offering classes to help further the S.T.E.M initiative by allowing students to learn video game development in a pc based environment. We will also setup a hacker space allowing students and individuals the ability to try out new technologies such as 3d printing, electronics/robotics, augmented/3d and virtual reality systems to help invigorate learning towards S.T.E.M. A gift shop selling classic, refurbished retro systems & video games in order to help fund the museum and also teach students how to repair & program classic video game systems will be available. Nothing gets a student more excited than playing something they have programmed or fixed by themselves. The museum will be running 2 special events per month,
#1) There will be an educational session with the museum's curator and a chosen system, in which he will highlight the technology and programming that was used to create system and it’s games, He will also be discussing the history and letting the patrons actually try the system out by playing it so they can see how the games played and get a feeling for the controllers that were used.
#2) Laser light shows, in which not only do you get see a laser show, but can actually play vector based video games projected using laser systems in real time. Imagine playing asteroids on a 15ft - 20ft screen.
