Speakers
David Monroe, SAMSAT Board Chair & CEO of E-Watch Corp.
The San Antonio Museum of Science & Technology
San Antonio has been the site of many technical and scientific developments ranging from microprocessors to communications to medical devices and space technology but there has not been any facility or museum to highlight these achievements. In fact, San Antonio is the only large city in the US that does not have a museum of Science & Technology. Now plans are underway to build the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology (SAMSAT) including exhibit areas, meeting facilities, STEM activity areas, etc. The initial exhibits of the Museum will be from a collection of items assembled by David Monroe, SAMSAT Board Chair.
The program will include a description of some of the unique artifacts that David has collected over the years and an overview of his vision for a Science and Technology Museum in San Antonio. Since SAMSAT is just getting started, there will be a need for volunteers with technical ability to plan, refurbish and develop exhibits and activities. David will discuss opportunities for IEEE Life Members to become involved in these activities.
