What Areas of Science and Technology would the Learning Center highlight?

The Science and Technology of Information Transmission, Storage, and Processing.

Basic Sciences and Technologies.

This encompasses electronics, photonics, wave-theory, transmission theory, fiber-optics, radio, radar, lasers, semi-conductors, circuit technology, basically any science and mathematics fundamental to communication and storage of information. 
Applied Sciences and Inventions.
On the applied research and product areas we can explore super computers, mainframe computers, personal computers, miniaturization of computers, CD technology, storage technology, telephones, telephone networks, cellular telephones, telegraph, radar, satellites, wireless radio, television, video, vacuum tubes, transistors, electronic warfare, etc.  We can examine any product relating to the transmission, storage and processing of information.  We will also invite corporations to exhibit specific products.  We will also have an exhibit of possible future products and developments such as superconductivity.
History - Inventors - Individual and Corporate.
Individuals such as Marconi and Armstrong made early developments in the information age.  Groups such as the RCA, IBM, and Bell Laboratories among many others made later developments.  These developments and specific landmark products will be exhibited.
Camp Evans, Deal Test site, Camp Coles History.
The specific research and development done by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America and the U.S. Army Signal Corps will be exhibited.  A prime example is Project Diana’s opening of space exploration or the Signal Corps influence on the development of the transistor industry.  In addition nearby Signal Corps sites made contributions to technological history.  As example, what we now refer to as the printer circuit was created at nearby Camp Coles.  Deal Test site saw major ship-to-shore telephone and satellite tracking advances.
Where would the initial programs come from?
Most of the organizations looking forward to moving to the science-history center at Camp Evans have successful programs.  Each organization would like to expand their programs at Camp Evans to serve a larger audience.  As example, the New Jersey Science Teachers Association and associated organizations conduct regular teachers' education classes and special science programs for students.  Fort Monmouth ICON holds special engineering lectures and demonstrations for high school students.  These programs would benefit by having a permanent location where participants could come to them rather than expending funds and volunteer time setting up the program for each school they visit.
