This is a photo of the Please Touch Museum! The group went with our advisor, and we explored all of the exhibits and got to know the ins and outs of the museum as we were assisted by Claudia, an employee of the museum. There were many great opportunities, but one that stuck out the most was the river in the middle of the Rainforest Rhythm exhibit. We want to try working with that, somehow modifying the existing water wheel into a source of power for a generator and then to light bulbs (possibly shaped like raindrops!). There is a lot to learn and research, but at least it is a start!
There seemed to be many outside opportunities, and we discussed the sustainable playhouse as well as the solar powered figurines, but we might be better off just focusing on the wheel for now. The museum would need a hefty grant for the playhouse, but maybe if time permits we can start a draft for an idea. But first, we have to figure out how to hook up a generator to the water wheel!
