Imagine a drag race with electric vehicles.
Imagine playing with motion-control technology
to explore the solar system. Imagine
sitting for a 3-D portrait while others line
up to catch a glimpse of the workplace of the
future.
These are the experiences that will be
discovered by visitors to Imagine RIT:
Innovation and Creativity Festival. The
festival, now in its fifth year, will be held
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 5,
on the RIT campus. It is free and open
to the public, rain or shine.
“Imagine RIT always has something for
everyone,” says RIT President Bill Destler.
“The collision of our left-brain assets in
science, technology and entrepreneurship
with our right-brain proficiency in the
creative and design arts provides a
dazzling spectacle that highlights the reasons
this university is truly unique.”
This year’s festival promises to deliver new
discoveries sparked by ingenuity among
students, faculty and staff.
“The festival has established itself as both
an RIT and Rochester ‘must-experience’
event,” says Imagine RIT Chairman Barry
Culhane.
“If you’ve never been to the festival, you
will literally get to see and touch the ideas of
the future. And if you have been to the
festival in the past, you can explore new
exhibits, presentations and live demonstrations
that will stir your imagination.”
