[i]Covering more than 18 acres and featuring 494,000 stalks of corn, Exploration Acres is Northwest Indiana’s largest corn maze and pumpkin patch. Its design includes images of alumnus Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon; and Amelia Earhart, the first woman to attempt to circumnavigate the globe and an advisor for young women at Purdue in the 1930s. “We focused our (maze) design around Amelia Earhart and Neil Armstrong because they are two of the most recognizable figures in Purdue history,” said Tim Fitzgerald, president and CEO of Exploration Acres. “They represent Purdue’s unmatched contributions to flight and aeronautics in the past. We also included symbols to show the areas where Purdue will make its mark in the future. The DNA strand, heart and leaf in the bottom left-hand corner represent biotechnology, health and sustainability. The brain and footprint in the bottom right represent artificial intelligence and space exploration.”[/i]
