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

	A number of years ago ASTC and the Franklin Institute 
collaborated on a climate exhibition. Not sure where the "exhibition 
memory" is now but as I recall there were visitor experiences that 
probably could be adapted to the sort of short drop-in laboratory 
activities you are looking for.
