Visits to Operating Science Centers Provide Valuable Insight for the Information Age Learning Center Development. Infoage volunteers have visited the following science centers and
museums to collect marketing materials, experience their hands-on exhibits
and note operations.
What are the guiding principles in developing the center? The main guiding principle is to use what Evans has to offer and what other organizations and individuals will offer for free or reduced costs. Combining this with imagination, vision, planning and the partnership of sponsors in industry to develop a facility to support the mission of the Information Age Learning Center. A secondary principle is to present the information in an interesting, even fun way, with depth of content. It will allow people to explore what they find interesting and have lots of information for them to find of a technical and historical nature. Finally, it will enable individuals, including students, to contribute to the centers content. Students learn by doing. This facility is a place to do things, make things, and try things that could not be offered in a normal school building.
