Hey everyone! I'm gunnarolla with Tourism Calgary
here at TELUS Spark for the Starfleet Academy Experience
There are tons of cool things to see and do here
and the best part is, you don't have to be a huge Star Trek fan to enjoy it
(although I obviously am)
So let's check it out!
One to beam up!
[action music]
Jamie, so you're the first person people will see when they come to the Starfleet Academy Experience
Can you tell me what these wristbands are for?
-These wristbands, everyone who comes through gets one
As you're going through the Academy, you'll scan them on the kiosks
We'll have different activities like phaser shooting, medical tricorder
At the exit, you'll scan them on the results kiosks
and those will give you your Academy file, tell you where you placed
-Cool, so it's pretty interactive, maybe a little competition
-It's very interactive
-All right, I'm here with - what's your name?
-Aiden
-Aiden. And what are we going to do today?
-We're going to use this phaser training
-So what do you have to do here?
-You're supposed to shoot the targets
-Aiden is getting all of them, right in the center
Did you have a lot of practice before you did this?
-Only twice
-Only twice? Okay.
-We made it to the communications section of the Starfleet Academy Experience
Here, we can actually learn how to speak Klingon
["Hab sosli Quch" is heard in the backround]
What did you just say about my mother?
We are about to enter the bridge
of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D
This is all of my Trek dreams come true right now
This is where tactical would go
This is where all the science stuff happens
This is like a computer
Do you think you could show me how to use this?
-Okay. So press every button, then see what happens
I mean, that's how I use a computer. So.
Captain Kirk, right over here
Captain Picard?
Captain Tony
How's it going, Captain Tony?
-I'm just great
I think it's safe to say, you are a Star Trek fan
-Oh, sure
How did you hear about this exhibition?
-Through the Internet, actually
I'm from Edmonton
-Cool, so you made the 3 hour drive down
-Yeah, sure did last night
-How are you enjoying it so far?
-It's pretty interesting. Looking to buy a few things on my way out
How does it feel to be on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D?
-It's definitely very cool. I like it
-For the people watching at home, what kinds of things do you think they could look forward to?
-It's definitely interactive, challenging, you don't have to be a Star Trek fan but it does help
-Is this just for Trek fans or do you think it has a wider appeal?
I think it has a wider appeal. I think there's an educational element that would be fun for kids
But I'd also say: dive in, dress up, have fun
Go into the future, let's go positive and see we can accomplish and what science can accomplish
I'd say everybody's welcome
-That's it for me! Starfleet Academy runs until June 4 at TELUS Spark
Get your tickets now!
Beam me up!
