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

Here's a little more information on the session.  The idea is that we would have 4-5 researchers/scientists/etc. come prepared with a current science headline from the week prior.  The attendees would be put into groups with one researcher and then the would work together for 30 minutes to come up with an interactive way to present the headline to visitors.  There could be a mini-demo created, a game, a table-top display -- something that can be transferred to on floor staff for delivery to visitors in a quick and effective manner.

The idea is not only to come up with innovative ideas, but creative methods for delivery in 'real time'.  I'm still flushing out the entire session, but maybe this is enough of a start to pull something together to submit.  

Let me know if you are interested.
Karen
