Visitors will learn how these concepts pertain to their everyday lives.”

    The Expo will feature a Robinson R-66 helicopter and helicopter simulator from Guidance Aviation, an unmanned aerial vehicle demonstration by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a Yavapai College Film and Media Arts green screen demo, hands-on ceramic experiences in the art studio, and much more.

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination.
