On a different topic, the ANA is seeking donations to help create new interactive exhibits for young museum visitors.
-Editor
The American Numismatic Association's Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo., attracts thousands of families and children each year to its popular Kids Zone. To create more inspiring learning experiences, museums are turning to smart technology tools that enable more interactive educational experiences to help leverage content.
These tools can expand the Museum's ability to offer games, videos and activities curated especially for young visitors and families. The interactive touch screen would be used during structured Kids Zone activities and independently by museum patrons during public hours. (Interactive touch screens are in use in classrooms across the country, and many school children are already familiar with how to use them.)
The ANA has the potential to receive a matching grant to use towards obtaining and installing this technology in the Money Museum. However, donor funds must be received by Monday, October 25 to qualify. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in approximately 30 days.
To contribute, visit
info.money.org/museumfund, call 800-514-2646 or mail a check (to arrive by October 25) to: ANA Museum Fund, 818 N. Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
We thank you; young museum patrons thank you; and a future generation of collectors thank you!
