Who Will the Target Audience be?

Families with School Age Children and School Groups

A survey of science centers conducted by the Association of Science-Technology Center revealed that more than half of the attendance came from children.  The Learning Center will be designed with age specific exploration tracks to guide families to exhibits appropriate to their children's ages.  The information stations will easily and flexibly serve as personal guides for visitors.   As a county and state specialized educational resource accommodations will be made for school groups.  Besides the class specific information provided by the information stations, demonstrations, subject experts, and hands-on labs will be available to school groups.  To be sure all county schools will be able to easily benefit from the resources at the center and to maximize the instruction time the Information Age Learning Center will have preparation and orientation materials for teachers and counselors available on its web site.  Outreach programs will be available for home school families.
