BIOGRAPHY

Mike and Karen apply their backgrounds as fine artists and curriculum developers to the design and integration of educational technologies at the Exploratorium. They developed the Science Zone, an informal learning environment at the Museum Magnet School in St. Paul, Minnesota; Investigation Station, an after-school program in Landfall, Minnesota; and a series of inquiry-based exhibits at the Science Center of Eastern Connecticut. They have created several Internet-based science resources, including the Thinking Fountain, and Windmills and Whirligigs, at the Science Museum of Minnesota, and participated in the development of the NSF-funded Beyond Black Boxes project at the MIT Media Lab.
