Interactive Exhibits

 

The purpose of this project is to create interactive exhibits that: 1) demonstrate basic attributes of fluid power, and 2) highlight CCEFP research. Prototypes and exhibits developed and field-tested at the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM), an affiliate organization of the CCEFP, will serve as models for dissemination to other science museums around the world.

Project Leader: J. Newlin, SMM
