Hi Jeff,
We just received funding for something similar, but specific to zoo exhibit design.  I am preparing the work plan now - very early in the process.  But, I'd love to be on the receiving end of any information you gather, if you're willing to share.  Thanks!
Carol

*****************************************************************************

We are planning an interactive exhibit design contest for schools grades k-8 and 9-12.  Has anybody ever tried this before?  If so, what kind of parameters/requirements did you provide to the schools, things like exhibit dimensions, weight, interactivity, summary of science concepts, safety, etc...  And what types of categories (or rubric) do you all think would be best to evaluate and judge the exhibit designs.

Currently, we would plan to fabricate the top 2 winning designs.  These exhibits would be part of a larger 'Engineering Themed' exhibit space.  Any advice would greatly help guide our efforts.
