<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi folks,<div><br></div><div>I'm an interactive museum exhibit designer who has been pretty freaking excited to learn about hackerspaces. I got into the science museum business originally as a pinball machine hacker and loved sharing electronics insanity with people who never imagined they could make a lie detector/robot/explosion/etc. </div><div><br></div><div>I wrote a blog post about hackerspaces and their potential connection to museum spaces here: <a href="http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2009/04/hackerspaces-diy-science-centers-for.html">http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2009/04/hackerspaces-diy-science-centers-for.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>I've had a few museum exhibit directors write to me with interest in how they might connect to local groups/become a resource or space for hackerly-minded-adults. I'm curious whether you think that hackerspaces could reasonably exist with/inside/alongside museums and whether you see potential value there or just a mess of rules and screaming kids you don't want to deal with.</div><div><br></div><div>Either way, I'm inspired and energized. Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Nina</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
