The Myrtle Beach Discovery Imax
Theater features a giant, flat
screen and seating that is steeply
pitched between 19 and 25 degrees.
This allows everyone to see
the entire screen without anyone
else getting in their way.
Films shown in IMAX theatres
are designed to educate and
enlighten as much as they are
to entertain. They offer educators
a powerful teaching tool that
is easily integrated into existing
curriculum. And they provide
students with unique and exciting
opportunities to explore new
worlds and new ideas.
In fact, these
films are so inspiring that
scientists and explorers have
cited them for influencing their
career choice. As NASA astronaut
Susan Helms said of her decision
to become an astronaut: "I
first thought about it as an
option for me in my 20s after
seeing the IMAX movie, The Dream
Is Alive." |
