So if you want to take a moment and introduce yourself to the audience, that’d be great. We can use our voice and our economic power and our political power to actually make changes to the platform. And we feel strongly that if we left, there’d be a huge void and our we’d be abandoning our audience.

At the big one, I worked on a small project with teens to design science exhibits for community centers in their own neighborhoods.

We started with a brief presentation of the basics of each project, and then spent about an hour responding to questions from the audience, using illustrative images and documents to support the discussion.

Or is it worth more because the museum content is reaching people in distant lands who would otherwise never have engaged with the institution?
