Exposure
The exhibition began touring in Winter 2003 and will continue for up to
five
additional years. The exhibition will be seen by an estimated 1.5 million
visitors at science and technology museums throughout the United States.
Audience
The target audience for this traveling exhibition is 5 to 8 year-old children
(Kindergarten - Third Graders). Children in this age range have little
exposure to these topics in school or home, they visit museums with their
families and school groups, and they will become a future generation of
scientists. An interdisciplinary approach to science must start at an
early age to affect the way children approach inquiry and problem-solving.
This will only be a first introduction to the nano world, but it will
be provide a groundwork upon which visitors can build with future experiences.
