Discovering Discovery Rooms
Tuesday, February 12, 2002, 2:30-5:00 PM
Chabot Space & Science Center, Oakland, CA

Come join us as we investigate and explore Bay Area Discovery Rooms.
Find out how these special learning environments promote learning for
parents and their young children. We'll learn the history of
discovery rooms from Judy White, who created the first Discovery Room
at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. with
Carol Marsh. Jennifer (Dursi) Rothman, Education Director at the Palo
Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, will provide an overview of Discovery
Rooms in the Bay Area and discuss options for those with less space
or money for their program. We'll also explore Chabot Space & Science
Center's Discovery Lab.
