My apologies for the cross-post.  However, I need your help.

I am in the process of selecting new exhibits for the Science Center of
West Virginia.  Currently, the 10,000 square-foot Science Center has
over 40 interactive, science exhibits and a Starlab planetarium.

Nearly all of our exhibits are interactive in nature.  This approach has
worked well for the Science Center and is one that I wish to continue.
However, it has also left our exhibits strongly focused on physics and
engineering.  What the Science Center now needs are more interactive
exhibits that explore astronomy, chemistry, biology, geology, and
meteorology.

Being a young facility, our ability to produce exhibits in-house is
limited.  Thus, I am searching for commercially produced exhibits.
However, I may cobble together a few exhibits from the classroom science
products of companies like Pasco and Carolina
Biological Supply.

Do you have any suggestions on how I might approach this project?
Without a comprehensive list of exhibit builders, I have been forced to
tackle this project in a piecemeal fashion so far.  Fortunately,
although the money is tight, it is there.

I would appreciate it if your response was sent directly to me (although
feel free to cc it to the list).  I may be reached at the Science Center
between 8 AM and 4 PM ET on Tuesdays through Saturdays.  The Science
Center's telephone number is (304) 325-8855.  By email I may be reached
at my private account, [log in to unmask]

Thank you for your help.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Thomas Willmitch
Director, The Science Center of West Virginia
