Discovering Discovery Rooms
Tuesday, February 12, 2001, 2:30-5:00
PM
Chabot Space & Science Center
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.
