ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
For once, we're ahead of the curve. Last month we added "Montana's science
center in Helena under our ExplorationWorks name at the
top of our home web site page...for many reasons, including helping our
large summer tourist guests easily find us! And you're right,
the rest of the year, our hometown folks mostly know where to find us.

We even linked our address on our home page to a google map. We're not a
museum, but it's still helpful for folks who might want to find us...easily!

and more searches are done with smart phones. Having a website optimized for
