We have an area called the Kemper Creative Learning Studio that has padded
theatre chairs set at an angle (like stadium seating) with a large open
"stage" area that can be used in a variety of ways.
A large table on casters is plumbed for water & compressed air (no gas). We
roll it into the middle for presentations or leave it off to the side. We
have many ways to project images and such from a projection room. We have
cameras in the ceiling with high zoom capability so close-up images of a
presentation can be projected onto a large screen for the audience or
recorded for broadcast television.
The studio/theatre has the capacity for 140 people and is located in the
middle of our exhibit building. We use it for every single school visit for
"teachable moments". This summer we're using it for day-long workshops
during the week as well as short workshops on Saturdays.
If you'd like to know more about this area, contact Steve Kimball, our
School & Group Experiences Developer. He practically lives in the studio and
would love to help you know more about it. His email address is
[log in to unmask] and his phone number is 316-266-4277. If you need
technical information about our facilities, contact Marty Sigwing, our
Director of Exhibits and Tech Services, at [log in to unmask] and
316-266-4234.
I hope that helps.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Education program facilities
Hello All,
Please forgive cross posting.
Does anyone know of museums with thriving school visit programs using
little or no classroom space? In developing the space program for a new
museum with difficult space limitations we are looking at alternative
means to deliver high quality school group activities with little to no
dependency on classrooms - for both orientation and programs. Ideas
(pro and con) and contact information would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Aaron
