Subject:Museum needs help From:"Doug, Data Librarian at Ext 4225" <engstromdd -at- PHIBRED -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 12 Apr 1994 10:50:01 -0500
I'm forwarding this appeal for help on a communication problem from the BCEPP
biotechnology list. I thought there might be someone on this list who has had
experience presenting this type of technical material. (Sounds like a great
project, incidentally.)
Unfortunately, Dave did not include in Internet address, so the only way to
reach him is to hit the entire BCEPP -at- wingra -dot- adp -dot- wisc -dot- edu list.

Subj: Setting up A DISCOVERY ROOM
>Hello
>I have resently joined an industrial museum (distillary) as educational
>officer. The facility presently does not have an area that would be geared
>to elementary school children. Part of my duties will be the design of a
>DISCOVERY ROOM for this purpose.
>My problem will be to come up with displays that are interactive and visual
>enough to entertain as well as educate while at the same time down playing the
>production of an alcoholic beverage. The use of background techniques used in
>the production would be an asset but not a necessity. The displays may deal
>with anything related to industrial production.
>If anyone has any experience in such a setup, I would very much like to hear
>from you.
