NotesThe Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.

Also known as the International Business Machines Corporation Pavilion and the "New Paths to Knowledge" exhibit.

"A children's maze in the upper garden [of the IBM Pavilion] provides a comparison with computer decision-making. In this audience participation display, youngsters try to solve the problem of finding their way out of a maze. In doing so they make logical selections from various symbols at each turn. Explanatory panels describe how these 'yes-no' decisions made by the children are similar to the workings of a computer." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 56)
