The Life Member Affinity Group of the Oklahoma City Section sponsored a tour and lunch at Science Museum Oklahoma (SMO) in Oklahoma City in August 2025. Amanda Harmer, Curator of Engagement, provided a guided, narrated tour of items of interest in their collection. 

Highlights included a display of early computing technology (remember the “luggable” computer), the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame (scientists, engineers, and pilots who shaped aviation and space exploration), and the Navy Gallery (spotlighting naval history and Oklahoma’s deep ties through the service of SMO founder John E. Kirkpatrick).

Science Museum Oklahoma is where questions turn into unforgettable experiences. With around 390,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits, science shows, and immersive fun, this is the place where families, teachers, and explorers of all ages come to play, learn, and imagine more.
