A request from a colleague:

We want to have a weather station where visitors can try their hand at  
predicting the weather using real data and see how various sensors and  
computer models play a critical role. I’d hate to develop something  
like this in a vacuum, since I’m sure there are models out there and  
good advice people could give us. Has anyone worked on such an  
exhibit, or seen good examples? How are existing exhibits working for  
visitors? Has anyone done evaluation they’d be willing to share? We  
will have people on the floor at set times to help visitors, but the  
station needs to work on its own at other times.

Replies to this list, me or Eileen Campbell<[log in to unmask]>

Thanks.

Martin
