Fort
Worth
will contract with the
Exploratorium
to
build three exhibit
sets for annual
rotation among
partners. Fort
Worth and the
Exploratorium will
provide maintenance,
logistics, and
marketing resources.
In year 1, all partners will participate in capacity-building
and staff development workshops. The Exploratorium begins building
exhibit sets. Evaluators lay groundwork for measuring the success
of program goals. Fort Worth and the Exploratorium begin consulting
with staff from the
Discovery
Science Place, Laredo
Children’s
Museum,
and
Science
Spectrum,
starting with a series of TexNET
institutes.
At the end of year 1, Fort Worth will host all three exhibit
sets for three months in its temporary exhibition space. Staff
from the three partners will attend a kick-off exhibit-based
training workshop in Fort Worth to become familiar with the
exhibits sets.
Starting in year 2, exhibit sets will begin annual rotation.
Every installation will be accompanied by exhibit-based training
led by Fort Worth with support from the Exploratorium. Workshops
will focus on the science behind and demonstrations built around
exhibits, and will move to programming for specific audiences
(visitors, teachers, students). Capacity-Building Workshops,
starting year 2, will address audience cultivation, museum profile
building, and staff development. Evaluation will occur throughout.
