Art + Science Mural Goes Up!

Last week, the mural that the DMA/Perot Teen Advisory Council designed earlier this year was installed at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. We'll be having a reception at the next Thursday night Lab at the Perot for the Teen Council members for show off the mural to their families and for us to celebrate their participation in this project!

The mural features photographs the Teen Council members took with microscopes they built themselves. The pics are of Cheetos®, coins, oil paints and other everyday objects.

Science Road Trip

This past week five educators from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, myself included, hit the road to travel to northwest Arkansas and teach out outreach programming there. We brought with us the Portable Universe (a planetarium dome and project system that can be set-up in classrooms) and our Fire and Ice show about states of matter. We presented these programs in partnership with a local museum, the Amazeum, that is currently being designed and set to open in 2015.

Here are a couple articles from the trip and a photo of the team:
