organization Hawthorne Center for Innovation,  http://www.hawcenter.org/

generating innovation in the sciences and humanities and is currently
supporting several disruptive technologies under development in the areas,
among others, of sensor tech, robotics, computer design, clean energy, and
3D web development.

historical figures and scenes--while learning vaulable skill sets for
possible employment in multi-media ventures.
