Building on their successful traveling exhibition and Web site, "Invention at Play," funded by the NSF Informal Science Education Program, the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation (National Museum of American History) in collaboration with Smithsonian Affiliates around the country is developing "Places of Invention" (POI). Major deliverables include a 3,500 square-foot permanent exhibition at NMAH and a highly interactive Web site that focus on practicing inventive skill-building and illustrating the ways that place and social collaboration shape the creative process. The POI exhibition features an interactive Invent Town area and five stories about "hot spots" of invention from the mid-19th century to the present, each providing hands-on experiences that relate to particular "21st Century skills" and to the social, psychological, and spatial dimensions of invention, science, and engineering. The project intends to establish a new model for the co-creation of exhibition content among NMAH visitors, Web site users, Lemelson Center staff, and partnering Smithsonian Affiliate museums around the country. The exhibition and Web site will be designed with inter-linking features that allow museum visitors and people from around the country to add local stories of creative activities in their home towns, share their own inventive designs, and dialog with each other about the inventive process.

在他们成功的巡回展览和网站“发明”的基础上，由NSF非正式科学教育计划资助，史密森尼莱梅森（Lemelson）的发明与创新研究中心（美国国家历史博物馆）与史密森尼分支机构在全国各地合作开发“发明地点”（POI）。 主要的可交付成果包括在NMAH举行的3500平方英尺的永久性展览以及一个高度互动的网站，该网站着重于练习创造性的技能建设，并说明位置和社交协作的方式塑造了创作过程。 POI展览展出了一个互动式的城镇区域和五个关于从19世纪中叶到现在的发明“热点”的故事，每种都提供了与特定的“ 21世纪技能”以及与发明，科学和工程学的社会，心理和空间维度有关的实践经验。 该项目旨在建立一个新的模型，以共同创建NMAH访问者，网站用户，Lemelson Center的工作人员，并在全国各地与Smithsonian Affiliate博物馆合作。 展览和网站将采用互路功能设计，可让博物馆的访问者和来自全国各地的人们在他们的家乡中添加当地创意活动的故事，分享自己的创造性设计，并互相对话。
