Editing Doc Edgerton (section)

==Legacy==
On July 3, 1990, in an effort to memorialize Edgerton's accomplishments, several community members in [[Aurora, Nebraska]], decided to construct a "Hands-On" science center. It was designated as a "teaching museum", that would preserve Doc's work and artifacts, as well as feature the "Explorit Zone" where people of all ages could participate in hands-on exhibits and interact with live science demonstrations. After five years of private and community-wide fund-raising, as well as individual investments by Doc's surviving family members, the '''Edgerton Explorit Center''' was officially dedicated on September 9, 1995, in Aurora.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edgerton.org/about/dr_edgerton.htm |title=Edgerton Explorit Center &#124; About Dr. Edgerton |access-date=24 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120827040712/http://www.edgerton.org/about/dr_edgerton.htm |archive-date=August 27, 2012 }} Edgerton Explorit Center</ref>

At MIT, the '''Edgerton Center''', founded in 1992, is a hands-on laboratory resource for undergraduate and graduate students, and also conducts educational outreach programs for high school students and teachers.<ref>[http://web.mit.edu/edgerton/ Edgerton Center], MIT</ref>
