*****************************************************************************
The Orlando Science Center has been actively developing STEM-related,
problem-based learning activities in our exhibit halls for a while now.
While some have been designed primarily to meet the STEM education needs
of our school field trips, all are also designed to meet the needs of
general visitors and can stand alone with little to no facilitation
needed from floor staff. So far our results have been met with much
enthusiasm from both visitors and school administration and we continue
to plan more exhibits based on this premise.

bit of an open ended term, but however you all might define it, are
there others who are working on similar approaches?
