The Cade Celebrates Invention + Creativity with Inventivity BashThe Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention will be hosting their annual Inventivity Bash on Saturday, May 8. Inventivity Bash is the Cade’s premier annual event where the museum celebrates ideas and innovations that transform our lives and our community. Discover the unique combination of innovation, invention and creativity that can only be experienced at the Cade Museum. This year’s theme is “Vintage Vines: The Science behind Beer, Wine and Charcuterie.” The evening begins with a VIP pre-event at 5:30pm: “Champagne and Studebakers.” At the pre-event guests are treated to sumptuous hors d’oeuvres from Sweetwater Branch Inn catering, champagne, and a special blueberry cocktail with locally grown blueberries provided by Florida Blue Farms in Gainesville. Guests can sip their drinks while taking in special access to the Cade Museum’s collection of Studebakers that are not currently on public display. Following the pre-event, doors open to the Inventivity Bash at 6:30pm. The event will feature live music and catering by Sweetwater Branch Inn. Throughout the museum, guests can sample fermented foods while learning about the fermentation process. Cade educators will give exciting demos with hands-on activities. Local vendors like First Magnitude Brewing and Vine Sourdough Bakery will share their expertise in creating their fan favorite fermented foods and drinks. Guests will be able to bid on silent auction items like Cade Museum event packages. The evening will end with a presentation by Phoebe Cade Miles, co-founder of the Cade Museum and daughter of the museum’s namesake, Dr. James Robert Cade, the University of Florida professor and physician who was the lead inventor of Gatorade. “Inventive thinking is so important we had to make a word up for it and that word is inventivity. Inventivity is basically creativity plus invention,” says Phoebe Cade Miles. “What you learn here is how to think like an inventor. How to be an inventor. How to practice inventivity.” Tickets to the event cost $75 and the pre-event is a $25 add-on. Proceeds from ticket sales support the operation of the Cade Museum, including critical community outreach. Examples of the Cade’s community outreach over the past year include: running a community maker space for the Gainesville Housing Authority, offering science education classes at the YMCA, and leading Operation Full STEAM, a multi-year program that provides an intensive educational experience to prevent students from falling behind in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). This coming year, the Cade Museum’s major community outreach project is The Invent Possible Project: Community Connectivity and Education. The goal of this initiative, driven by the Cade Museum, is to provide internet to Gainesville Housing Authority (GHA) residents, giving children invaluable access to online learning resources. The Cade and GHA are partnering with COX, with support from the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, to bring internet to residents using COX’s Connect2Compete discounted service program. Tickets to “Vintage Vines: The Science behind Beer, Wine and Charcuterie” may be purchased at bit.ly/CadeVintageVines.

The prestigious “Amelia” spotlights Dr. Cade’s prized President Dr. James Robert Cade, the trailblazing namesake of the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention, is most famous for creating the sports drink Gatorade, but he also possessed the spirit of a Renaissance man. One of Dr. Cade’s many interests revs on today through the Cade Museum’s collection of meticulously maintained Studebakers. For Dr. Cade, the Studebaker epitomized the application of well-crafted design, cutting edge technology, and quality engineering. A standout in the collection, Dr. Cade’s 1931 Studebaker President, will be on display later this spring at the annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Now in its third decade, “the Amelia” draws more than 300 rare vehicles from collections around the world to the island’s Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. This year’s event runs Thursday, May 20 to Sunday, May 23. The Cade Museum will be hosting a booth on Saturday and Sunday and the Cade’s Studebaker President will be on display on Sunday. Introduced in 1927, the President is the quintessential classic American car and was Studebaker’s top model. Car enthusiasts at the Amelia will delight in the roadster’s V-shaped radiator, “Veed” single bar bumper, parking lamps on the front fenders and large oval headlights. The Amelia highlights luxury shopping, auctions, new vehicle reveals, experiential drives and exclusive gatherings. One of its most popular traditions, Saturday’s Cars & Coffee at the Concours, displays non-competing vintage, exotic, and collectible vehicles on the same show field used to display vehicles entered in the following day’s prestigious Concours d’Elegance. The high-profile extravaganza also attracts celebrities and other luminaries who rub elbows with high-profile donors to the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that has donated more than $3.75 million to deserving charities, both internationally and on Florida’s First Coast. In the same enterprising spirit, the Cade seeks innovative partnerships to support a vision of spreading an inventive mindset around the world. “The Amelia offers the Cade Museum an opportunity to meet new people from around the region and share with them the story of the Cade, our mission, and our vision of educational outreach,” said Stephanie Bailes, President and Executive Director of the Cade Museum. “The Amelia is also an excellent fit for our Studebaker collection, and it allows us to share this unique collection with a broader audience.” For more information about Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, visit ameliaconcours.org.

About the Cade Museum The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention, a museum in Gainesville, Florida is committed to transforming communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Since opening in 2018, more than 90,000 visitors and community members have experienced The Cade’s unique hands-on programming for children designed to spark imagination and inspire creativity. The Cade’s programs also help to build bridges to the innovation economy for those without access; low-income families, the underserved, and those needing assistance to access education and start on the career paths available to them to fulfill their dreams.
 “The Cade Museum is… a collection of what might be and who might create it. It is a must see and do for children.” –John H. Review on Trip Advisor Named after Dr. James Robert Cade, the University of Florida professor who invented Gatorade, the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention is a museum for all ages that fuels a thirst for knowledge. The Cade offers children and adults unprecedented access to world-class inventors, visionaries, and entrepreneurs through exhibits and programming. Not only do visitors learn what inspired inventors, both past and present, but they also learn how to think like an inventor. “As a child, I had a proverbial seat at the table and I observed my father’s inventive mindset,” says museum co-founder, Phoebe Cade Miles, daughter of Dr. Cade. “I learned that problems don’t overwhelm an inventor, but instead spark curiosity.” The Cade allows children and adults alike to play, create, and experiment. At the Cade, failure is just finding a way that did not work and when an experiment fails, Cade Educators inspire visitors to re-purpose, re-create, and view problems from new perspectives. Cade Educators offer hands-on learning that equips visitors for an innovative future and fosters the inventive spirit within us all. In the museum’s Creativity Lab, visitors can get messy making magnetic slime or they can learn about electrons while making a popsicle stick flashlight. In the Fabrication Lab, visitors can bring an idea to life by working with an educator to build a 3D model and print it on a 3D printer, or they can escape into a world of virtual reality with the Cade’s VR headsets. With Edison’s Pile of Junk in the museum’s Rotunda, participants are encouraged to invent something new using everyday items like yarn, paper rolls, and construction paper. The Cade offers rotating themes (museum-wide exhibits and activities that focus on a particular lens of invention) and hosts traveling exhibits. This summer, from May to September, the museum’s theme is Eureka! with the exhibit Reinventing Immunity. When an idea evolves into an invention, that idea can change the world. But where do ideas come from? Visitors can draw, tinker, prototype, and play as they meet the inventors who transformed history, one idea at a time, and they learn how big challenges inspire inventors to find even bigger solutions. This summer’s traveling exhibit, How People Make Things, comes from the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Children today can feel removed from how common items in their lives are made – their toys, clothes and more. How People Make Things tells the story of how everyday items are manufactured and brings to life the people, ideas and technology that transform raw materials into finished products. Inspired by the Mister Rogers' Factory Tours, this hands-on, interactive exhibit helps children appreciate that the objects in their lives were made through human ingenuity. In addition to general admission on Friday through Sunday, the Cade also offers weekly programming and will be offering summer camps from June to August. Weekly programming includes Little Sparks on Saturdays at 12:15 p.m. and Story Time on Sundays at 12:15 p.m. for ages 0-5. No pre-registration required; cost is included in general admission. Summer camps are offered for ages 6-9 and 10-14. They take place Monday-Friday and cover topics like making your own podcast, designing your own game, engineering a moon base, and exploring art and nature. Register at cademuseum.org/camps. The Cade Museum is perfect for a day trip! Located on the beautiful Depot Park, travelers can visit the museum, take a stroll on the hiking trails, and have a picnic in the park with food from local vendors. Depot Park also offers a playground. The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention is open Fridays-Sundays 12 p.m.-5 p.m., 811 S. Main St., Gainesville, FL 32601. General admission is $12.50; youth ages 5-17, $7.50; children ages 0-4 get in free; seniors and college students only pay $10, and Cade Museum members get in free.

Cade Celebrates Gallery Naming and One Million Dollar Donation from Tony & Olga BarrGainesville, FL, May 6, 2021 – Ascend the spiral staircase of the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention, and you’ll see parents and kids navigating colorful exhibits and busying themselves with hands-on activities that spark curiosity about the groundbreaking concepts on display--a typical day in the museum’s state-of-the-art Tony & Olga Barr Gallery. In December 2020, the Barrs completed a $1 million donation to the Cade, and, in their honor, the museum recently installed the donors’ names atop a second-story, 2600 square-foot gallery space. On April 16, the museum commemorated the milestone with an exclusive celebration that invited friends of the family to hors d’oeuvres and mingling in the museum’s rotunda. The event kicked off with a toast to the naming of the Tony & Olga Barr Gallery followed by a dinner, Edison phonograph demonstration by a Cade Educator, desserts, and mingling. “Tony Barr has shared with us his passion for science and experiments, and his belief that individuals have the power within themselves to create and invent,” said Stephanie Bailes, CEO of the Cade Museum. “He recognizes a spark in kids visiting the museum--a spark he enjoyed himself from a young age being inspired by the inventors living within his hometown. He hopes to instill in his community’s youth his love for the STEM concepts that inspired him to become an inventor and computer programmer. In fact, one of his favorite quotes comes from one of the greatest inventors of all time, Leonardo Da Vinci: ‘The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.’” As a result of the tremendous gift, more young Cade visitors and kids in the community might follow in Barr’s footsteps. While Barr earned his master's in physics, he later discovered computer science, where he could mine new algorithms, languages, and applications. Tony Barr’s company A Model of Reality (AMOR) challenges the status quo through the development of a new theory of computing and knowledge representation. Tony Barr has contributed to the computer industry for more than 58 years, developing programs in academia and private enterprise. He created SAS, a computer system that innovated data analysis in industry, government, research, and academia. The programming language designer, software engineer and inventor has also automated lumber yield optimization and the Automated Classification of Medical Entities (ACME). Tony Barr’s wife, Olga, is a former professional runner from Russia who is now an RN. The Cade Museum was founded by Dr. James Robert Cade, lead inventor of the team that developed Gatorade. Because of the Cade’s name and its relationship to Gatorade, many assume that the institution’s financial needs are met. However, Dr. Cade’s partial Gatorade trust covers less than one fifth of the museum’s operations. It is also a common misconception that the Cade is affiliated with the state university system, which it is not. The Barrs’ donation was urgently needed, especially during the pandemic. Required funding must be generated through museum operations, grants, and individual gifts. While the Cade Museum continues to need support, Barr’s donation was crucial for sustaining the museum during the COVID-19 closure and subsequent months of limited programming and admission capacity. The Barrs’ donation helped the Cade Museum pivot quickly during the COVID-19 closure. The museum was able to develop a digital Cade at Home series, while installing cleaning and safety measures for re-opening. The Cade moved many of its crucial outreach programs to fully digital or hybrid digital and in-person programming. For example, Operation Full STEAM and the Living Inventor Series (LIS) were moved online for the 2020-2021 school year. Operation Full STEAM is a multi-year program that provides intensive educational experiences to prevent students from falling behind in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. During the 2020-2021 school year, the Cade dropped off activity kits at the schools and then led the activities virtually. LIS introduces students to world class inventors and science concepts aligning with their invention. The Cade Museum brings science to life through personal stories brought to students in their classrooms, now in a digital format. Incidentally, Tony Barr has been a featured inventor in LIS. "I believe in the mission of the Cade to Spark Wonder and Invent Possible” Tony Barr said. “As a child, I read the biographies of Ben Franklin, Marconi, Alexander Graham Bell, Wright Brothers, and Sikorsky. Visiting the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and the Museum of Natural History in New York City filled me with wonder. My childhood interests are addressed right here in Gainesville by The Cade, and I believe it will attract our young people to the STEM fields."

Gainesville, FL--From the 1870s through the 1890s, Thomas Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, patented some of the most important inventions of the modern age, including the light bulb, sound recording, and motion pictures. The late 19th Century saw tremendous change and the rise of a new kind of American icon: the Inventor. The Age of Electricity, this spring’s theme at the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention, provides entertaining, interactive activities inspired by Edison along with pioneers Lewis Latimer and Nikola Tesla. Surprising facts – like that Studebaker made battery-operated electric carriages from 1902-1912 – come to light in infographics and presentations throughout the museum. Parked right inside the museum’s rotunda are two Studebaker carriages donated by James Robert Cade, the museum’s namesake and lead inventor of Gatorade. Speaking of inventions coming to light in this theme, guests can tinker with uses of light and power by way of hand-crank lightbulbs, fine-tuned instruments, and interactive power grids. Multimedia, interactive elements engage kids and kids at heart throughout the museum. Educators provide lively and easy-to-understand explanations of how the inventors pioneered electricity. One exhibit provides a literally hair-raising presentation of how electricity dazzled audiences at carnival sideshows during the 19th century. Parents and kids alike can chuckle at the infamous legend of Tesla’s barter of a “death ray worth $10,000” for hotel fare. A replica of the box containing the device—in reality, a common scientific measurement device—invites a peek alongside the exhibit. In keeping with the Cade’s pillars of learning, young inventors can participate in activities that engage all types of learners. A worksheet and crayons invite young inventors sketch their own patents. Little ones can create from “Edison’s Pile o’ Junk,” and witness how everyday items like Play-doh conduct electricity. The Age of Electricity can be viewed Fridays-Sundays 12 p.m.-5 p.m. at the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention, 811 S. Main St., Gainesville. General admission is $12.50; youth ages 5-17, $7.50; children ages 0-4 get in free; seniors and college students only pay $10, and Cade Museum members get in free.

The Cade Museum Announces $1 Million Gift from Tony and Olga BarrDonation Helps Support Museum's Youth Programming for Generations to Come Gainesville, FL, December 7, 2020 - The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention today announced Anthony James (Tony) and Olga Barr's transformative gifts to the museum. The Barr's have donated $1,000,000 to The Cade through an initial $500,000 gift before the museum's opening in 2018 and completed with a recent gift of $500,000. Barr said, "I believe in the mission of the Cade to Spark Wonder and Invent Possible. As a child, I read the biographies of Ben Franklin, Marconi, Alexander Graham Bell, Wright Brothers, and Sikorsky. Visiting the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and the Museum of Natural History in New York City filled me with wonder. My childhood interests are addressed right here in Gainesville by The Cade, and I believe it will attract our young people to the STEM fields." "I have known Tony to have a visionary mind and a generous spirit, which is evident in both his professional and philanthropic work in our community. Tony and Olga's gifts will have a lasting impact on the museum and our entire community," said Phoebe Miles, Co-founder of the Cade Museum. Tony Barr developed a passion for science and experiments at an early age, and his love for STEM concepts inspired him to become an inventor. To prepare himself for a life of invention, Barr completed a master's in physics. However, he discovered computer science, where he could discover new algorithms, languages, and applications. The time between invention and realization is so short in computer science. The Barr's extraordinary gift to The Cade will help a new generation discover that same passion. Barr named and created the Statistical Analysis System (SAS), a statistical software suite widely used internationally in science, government, industry, and academia. He has received three patents on algorithms for optimizing the cutting of lumber into dimensioned parts and another patent for an interactive survey tool for measuring employee satisfaction and life satisfaction. In 1968, an open problem in computer science was to win at blackjack. Mr. Barr solved this problem by using a memory cache of previously computed hands. This is the same breakthrough that Duke University used with its groundbreaking chess-playing program. Barr has been a founder of four companies Barr-Mullin, SAS, Barr Systems, and A Model Of Reality. In 1982, Barr Systems, Inc. moved from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Gainesville, Florida. The company flourished and achieved a world market to manage computer output from large financial, educational, and government entities using PCs instead of mainframe computers. Barr's new company A Model Of Reality, Inc., is developing A Model of Reality (AMOR), a new theory of computing and knowledge representation. Ultimately, Barr envisions that AMOR will achieve E.O. Wilson's and Descartes's unification of knowledge goal - a complete and consistent visual model for the world's structured knowledge. He expects that the whole world will eventually use this computing model for teaching, research, and business modeling. The Cade's mission is to transform communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. The Cade continues to find unique and essential ways to engage children in STEAM learning. "The Barr's incredible generosity and their belief in our mission is humbling. The timing of their gift, especially during these challenging times related to COVID, is critical to the ongoing operations of the museum and enables us to fulfill our mission in spite of the current climate," said Stephanie Bailes, President & Executive Director of the Cade Museum.

Barr created SAS, a computer system that has impacted computer data analysis in industry, government, research, and academia. Tony Barr used to call himself a programmer, but now says he is a computer theorist. Every theory has a conceptual model to define terms precisely. A Model Of Reality (AMOR) is a new theory of computing whose conceptual model is itself. AMOR is self-defining. AMOR is expected to become a complete and consistent visual model for the world's structured knowledge. Olga Barr is a former international professional runner from Russia. She has found a new career as an RN at a local hospital.

Cade Museum Welcomes Brain: The World Inside Your Head Exhibit
| 200914_cadebrainrelease.pdf |
Gainesville, FL, September 14, 2020 – The end of summer brings in a new exhibit at The Cade Museum. BRAIN: The World Inside Your Head will debut September 19th and be at The Cade through January 2, 2021.
The exhibit, which premiered at the Smithsonian Institute, allows visitors to take an unforgettable journey inside the head. Guests are transported into a giant brain where technology helps them learn more about the mind and how it works. Along the way, they will discover how the brain learns, the secrets of sleep, and the causes and cures for diseases. By the end of this experience-based adventure, visitors will enjoy a new appreciation of their own brain.
“The Cade is excited to host this innovative exhibit, allowing guests to learn more about such an important part of our body. The brain is the center of all creativity and invention, so we are thrilled to bring this technology-based exhibition to Gainesville,” said Stephanie Bailes, Executive Director.
In addition to the BRAIN exhibit, the museum’s MOON TO MARS space theme continues through October 31st. Guests can enjoy both of these experiences for the next six weeks.
New Tuesday night programming starts at The Cade on September 15th and provides engaging STEAM enrichment every Tuesday. Jr. Inventor Nights help children (ages 6-9) become creative problem solvers. Maker Nights (open to youth makers 10+ and adults), offer guided projects and access to computers, 3D printers, laser cutters, craft supplies, and more.
To learn more about BRAIN: The World Inside Your Head and other exciting things happening at The Cade Museum, including the Sweat Solution exhibit, Fab Lab & Creativity lab, and more, visit cademuseum.org/calendar.
The Cade continues to prioritize the safety and health of its guests and employees. Social distancing measures, extensive cleaning and sanitizing using state-of-the-art Violet Defense UV technology is being implemented throughout the museum.
