Ms. Hunter,

The California Science Center keeps pretty detailed numbers related to
program hours and attendance. Please email me separately and I'll share
them.

Does anyone keep a record of the number of program hours they deliver per
month or per year?  Is there a standard or general rule of thumb for how
many program hours a small, midsize, or large museum or science center
should deliver to their visitors? For example, if a mid-size science center
delivered 400 program hours to schools and general visitors per month, is
this number average, under, or excessive for that size science center?  FYI-
I define a program hour as the actual time it takes to deliver a program
plus set up and take down time, so a 30 minute demo, requiring 15 minutes
set up and 15 minutes take down, equals one program hour
