Does anyone have any experience creating an opportunity where visitors

photograph themselves engaging in "science discovery" at home, then
send 
their images to your museum for display (web-based or static graphics
on 
a changing panel/board)--or are we opening up a can of worms?!

We have some visuals that compare pennies to larger/smaller objects to

introduce the concept of size and scale to young children. We thought
it 
might be interesting to ask visitors to measure objects at home (using

pennies) and photograph/share their observations. We're curious to know

more about response rates, type of display, etc.

Your advice is appreciated!

Best,
Michele
