ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

COSI Columbus has a really great low-income membership program called  
"family access." They wrote an article about it for ASTC Dimensions a  
couple years ago, and I also profiled it (briefly) in a longer piece  
about how they have reconnected with their local community. You can  
read the piece I wrote here: http://www.participatorymuseum.org/ 
chapter5 - search COSI and you'll get there directly.
