SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --TICKETED
EVENTS: June 1st, 9th and 21st
STEAM DAY CAMP: July 8-12, 15-19,
22-26
at SVN West in San Francisco.
A new concept in entertainment, education and community is
launching this summer: the Museum of Future Sports (MoFS) featuring
a popup fundraiser event series. Showcasing the recent growth of
technology-enabled sports and gaming, MoFS is home to an impressive
variety of hands-on games, activities, professional competitions,
tournaments, and STEAM education summer day camp.
At MoFS June fundraiser events, visitors can play multiple
curated games and experiences, including arena-scale VR games,
mixed-reality RC car racing, create and share social media videos
in a virtual reality selfie booth, play a few games of robot
soccer, learn to fly a drone, play retro & indie video games
and experience the latest immersive technology demos.
Visitors can also relax and spectate as professional gamers
compete on the esports main stage, keep up with CA's fastest drone
pilots and RC race drivers on multiple indoor race tracks and
speedways, watch virtual reality sculptors face-off in VR art
battles, marvel at immersive art & experiences and listen to
(and watch) mixed-reality musicians & DJ's using AI and the
latest tech to spin beats.
In July, MoFS will transform the venue into a STEAM day camp for
students aged 8-14, featuring play-based learning at the heart of
its programs. MoFS curriculum leverages students' natural passion
for technology and desire to play through hands-on drone racing,
robot games, plus coding and game design. Through fun daily games,
lessons and activities, students experience a wide assortment of
creative and technical skills and learn how STEAM topics are
integral to future success on the playing field as well as the
workplace.
"It was important to build MoFS on a foundation of local
community engagement. It's exciting to launch a new technology and
entertainment venture in the San
Francisco Bay Area" said Sherry
Huss, Museum of Future Sports' Executive Director. "But it
was critical to our entire team that we create value for the local
community and address the tech literacy challenges facing so many
students throughout the area."
Housed in a sprawling 100,000 sq. ft. former auto dealership in
the heart of San Francisco, the
spot was home of the original Fillmore West concert venue. The MoFS
summer pop up is a collaboration with Non Plus Ultra, who currently
manage the venue and have renamed it SVN West. The MoFS pop up
takes advantage of the entire building, offering an unprecedented
variety of entertainment activities under one roof, creating a
one-of-a-kind destination for immersive family entertainment and
hands-on STEAM education programs.
"I loved the idea of a summer pop up and we decided to go for
it." said Jordan Langer, President
of Non Plus Ultra, the venue activation firm for SVN West. "This
space has been a part of the neighborhood for decades, and we
really hope to maintain that connection moving forward. The Future
Sports Museum is a great way to connect the space to the local
community and keep the neighborhood vibrant and lively and family
friendly"
