I'm forwarding this to the main mailing list. This seems like a fun idea! Any Tuesday at 7 is usually a good time to come down and pitch ideas. This Tuesday we have a speaker but feel free to come on down.

Hello

With many kids unable to take field trips with the frequency that I did as a child I have this idea for a portable museum project called MBox. The idea is to create (relatively) small  see through boxes, that house electrical, mechanical, biological, chemical processes that can be placed in community centers, schools, libraries  etc. Many kids have no working knowledge of the insides of a computer or the car their family drives; even less knowledge about biology or chemistry.

My goal is too make these boxes cheaply so they can be placed where kids frequent maybe even outdoors in poor neighborhoods.

I'd like to talk to Hive13 about this idea. Let me know when a meeting is convenient.

Thanks

Charles Thompson
