ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
We just implemented a Segway program at MSI Chicago. Facilitators ride the
Segway and approach guests to talk about the science behind the Segway
(gyros, balancing and green tech.) At the Facilitator's discretion, guests
ride the Segway for a short (approximately 1 minute) time to get a feel for
how the science behind it works. Guests must sign waivers (12 and up, 12-18
need parent/guardian signature) and wear helmets. It's been a big win for
the 2 months this program has been live.
Contact me if you have any other questions,
Tony Perry
