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

Denver had a wonderful interactive exhibition.  At the entry to the 
space, you received a card that you used throughout the exhibition to 
capture info about yourself.  For example, there was a strength 
machine, a scale (I tried to avoid it), dietary info, etc.  At the 
end, you put it through a reader and it gave you a profile. 
Specifically, they had a wonderful set of interactives around 
restaurant food choices - for example, if you're in a Chinese 
restaurant, what are the 'smart' choices re; fat, salt, etc.
