I am posting this for some exhibit designers from the new Children's
Discovery Museum of San Jose.  I will forward replies to them.  Please
reply by e-mail to me in addition to posting to the news groups.  I
will scan the groups intermittently but e-mail is more likely to be
read in a timely manner.  I will try to focus discussion into one news
group, whichever generates the most replies.

Please help because this is a great way to help open up the world of
telecommunications to kids.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We would like to know applications for electronic mail and network news
for elementary and junior high kids.  We are especially interested in
assisting meaningful dialogue between children locally, nationally, and
in the future, internationally.

One constraint is that children will have a limited time to access the
facility.  The programs have to be kept simple due to the variety of
skills and ages of the children.

The Children's Discovery Museum (CDM) will be opening in downtown San
Jose in early 1990 southwest of the Center for Performing Arts.  It
will be a hands on 52,000 square foot facility, the largest children's
museum on the West Coast.

Looking forward to your responses, Robbie Eshelman, Susan Kamprath, and
Lucia Grossberger. (408) 295-3834.
