Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Hi.
I was wondering if I could get input on something from the group. We are
currently setting up a general purpose computer lab at my museum and due to
budgetary issues, it has to be done a lot faster than I would like. It will
consist of about 12 "student's" stations and be used for both structured
classes and open come and go ("how do I do...") type events. These are set
to range from grade school to adult age groups. The classes will be fairly
short.
My question is; does anyone else have something similar running? I would
like to get input on software and/or types of classes that work in this kind
of setting. As a start, the computers will have Windows XP Pro and Microsoft
Office. They will have basic image editing and probably video editing
software. Nothing professional quality, but enough for the kids to "make
your own movie" and take the disk home. What else would you recommend? Open
source would be best but is not a requirement.
Thanks for your help
