Not all of the activity at the Exploreum is out in the open. Most of our staff is working on projects that our visitors will not see for months to come. Our Ciba Lab science guy Tim has been working on multiple projects funded by an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant. The program is FunDamental Physics. One of our exhibits will be a Van De Graff Generator. The cabinet for it arrived today. The controls for it have been designed by engineering students from the University of South Alabama. They will be by on Friday to do some work with in that area of the project. The exhibit is not quite finished yet but we hope to have it on our exhibit floor by August at the latest. Keep an eye out for more information on our IMLS projects. If you don't already have it, you can download Google Sketchup for FREE from http://sketchup.google.com/ and then download our 3D project drawings FREE from the Google 3D warehouse http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=Exploreum&styp=m
Check it out, especially if you like designing or building cool things.
