Director of Operations - Science Central, Ft. Wayne, IN
I've been in the field for 11 years as a jack of all trades, ie. Director of Operations.
Areas of Interest: too many to count. Puzzles and games and cool phenomena to demonstrate. Hopes for the workshop...more on planning an exhibit, and working with designers and contractors and other staff to see a project to completion (we have no plans to do in-house manufacture of exhibits).

Science Educator - Evansville Museum
I've only been in my current position (Science Educator) since January 2006, but before that I was a part-time science workshop instructor at my museum for 6 years.
I have a geology degree, so the earth sciences are always close to my heart, but my biggest passions are teaching children about nature / stargazing and teaching girls about science. One of the projects I'm in charge of at work is a science workshop program for Girl Scouts, and I love it.
Since I've only been doing exhibition work for a little more than a year, I know that I have a LOT to learn. I also can't wait to meet others from the OTS project.

Position: Senior Exhibit Developer, The Exploratorium
Years: 12
Areas of Interest:
I'm particularly interested in geological processes and dynamic motions. I've built a lot of water exhibits over the years and works that highlight complex pattern formations and behaviors.
Current Projects: I'm currently developing outdoor exhibits at Ft. Mason in partnership with the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It's a tricky project because it's forcing our team to rethink how we've traditionally developed exhibits and artworks. Beyond the obvious engineering issues, we've challenged ourselves to create works that encourage careful observations; comparing, contrasting, matching, and inferring. Creating exhibits that sway in the breeze will not be enough in a National Park setting. I look forward to sharing our early ideas with you all. If you're interested, you can find a lot of my work at my personal website: ShawnLani.com
