	Exploratorium Earthquake
		As coincidence would have it, on October 16 an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale rumbled across the desert in California, just as the Exploratorium Faultline crew was working its way up the San Andreas Faultline producing a series of video feeds and live events about life in earthquake country.
		Although the earthquake and the Exploratorium Faultine project have passed, you can still get the dirt on ground-shaking earthquakes by checking out the Exploratorium Faultline Archives.
		Visit the Exploratorium Faultline Archives to learn why earthquakes happen, how they affect the people who live through them, and what scientists and engineers are doing to predict and protect against them.

	D-Lib Featured Collection December 2001: Exploratorium
		D-Lib Magazine is pleased to feature the Exploratorium, a museum of science, art, and human perception founded in 1969 by physicist and educator, Dr. Frank Oppenheimer, and physically housed at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts.
		The Exploratorium's mission is "to create a culture of learning through innovative environments, programs, and tools that help people to nurture their curiosity about the world around them." The Exploratorium web site makes a significant contribution to the achievement of that mission.
		In addition, the Exploratorium currently has a team in Antarctica that is in contact with different researchers and is providing the museum with dispatches from the field, including live webcasts.

	Exploratorium Digital Asset Project
		The Exploratorium will develop, test, and begin implementation of a Digital Asset Management Program through which museum materials related to interactive exhibits and scientific phenomena, including images, educational activities, and other exhibit-related resources, are digitially archived and made accessible to the museum's audiences.
		The secondary goals are to increase staff efficiency (a necessary step to achieve the primary goal) and to contribute knowledge to the musuem and library fields regarding digital asset management in science centers and other exhibit-based institutions.
		The anticipated result of the project will be increased access to science education resources to museums throughout the U.S. with which the Exploratorium has a collaborative relationship; to educators nationally who are engaged in inquiry-based learning; and to the media and members of the public who have an interest in science and art.

	SAN FRANCISCO / Exploratorium chief takes post in England / Delacôte intends to create network of science museums
		Goéry Delacôte, director of the Exploratorium, San Francisco's pathbreaking science museum, announced Tuesday he was leaving to head a similar science center in England -- and he aims to link the two museums as the "bipolar hub" of a network of hands-on centers throughout Europe.
		The Exploratorium, acclaimed worldwide since its opening in 1969 as a "museum of science, art and human perception," pioneered the use of interactive exhibits to stimulate young people to an appreciation of science.
		The Exploratorium's early success also inspired creation of the "Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie" on the site of an old slaughterhouse in Paris -- which Delacôte headed until he was recruited to San Francisco by the Exploratorium's directors in 1990.

	Exploratorium cooks up a contest / Iron Science Teacher a recipe for experiments and silliness
		A fierce but wacky competition among physicists, chemists, biologists and the odd geologist and mathematician, the show, which is taped for the Exploratorium's Web site, is based on the popular Japanese TV cooking show "Iron Chef," on which various chefs compete to see who can cook the best teriyaki while making the best jokes.
		Subsequent shows will push teachers attending the summer sessions of the Exploratorium's Teacher Institute before the camera and a live audience of friends, colleagues and regular Exploratorium visitors.
		The event is free with Exploratorium admission - $9 for adults (18-64); $7 for university students and seniors (65 and older); $5 for youths (6-17) and those with disabilities; $2.50 for children 3-5; free to those under 3 and members and to all the first Wednesday of the month.
