Do you mean a science center at Green Bank? Is this
more than the visitors' center you had previously?
I took a group of students, from a Summer camp for
boys and girls near White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia [Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca], to tour Green Bank in
the mid-1970s. These students were involved in our
radio program; you can learn more about the history of
this rather unique Summer camp offering at:

I was employed at Pittsburgh's original Buhl
Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science during
the 1980s and early 1990s. You may be interested to
know that we had a radio telescope exhibit at Buhl
Planetarium, somewhat similar to the proposed exhibit
you are describing. In addition to having information
panels, there was a small "radio telescope" that could
track a radio source hidden in the exhibit!
This exhibit opened to the public on 1980 March 19;
the exhibit ran for several years. I do not believe
this exhibit still exists.
To read a short summary, regarding the opening of this
exhibit, from Buhl Planetarium's 1979-1980 Annual
Report, click on the following link:

Hello everyone,
I'm an educator at the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory, in Green
Bank,
WV. We opened a science center a little over a year
ago. I'm working
on a
grant, and seeking information on colleges that have
intern and co-op
programs for:
--informal science education students,
--multi-media/graphic arts students.
I want to find students to assist in the creation of a
small travelling
exhibit (50 sq. ft.) on radio astronomy. Positions
would ideally last
for 6
months-year. I'm also interested in institutions that
have sabbatical
programs, so that I can get some professional help!
I'd appreciate any insight. I'm completely worn out
from googling!
