The Association of Science-Technology Centers, in partnership with the Franklin Institute Science Museum, requests $360,523 from the National Science Foundation in support of a major hands-on traveling exhibition about global climate change. The 3,500-square-foot exhibition will provide a broad public with accurate, balanced scientific information about global warming and insight into its economic and social context. In so doing, it will help to spark interest in science and mathematics among the many young museum visitors who are concerned about the future of our environment. Approximately 2,000,000 citizens will visit the exhibition during its two-year tour of 11 U.S. science museums. Workshops conducted at each site before the exhibition arrives and educational materials to supplement program planning will assist host museums in broadening the exhibition's impact. ASTC and the Franklin Institute have a history of highly successful collaborative traveling exhibition projects. We will be assisted by a group of eminent advisors, a leading developer of hands-on science exhibits, and the Museum's experienced team of exhibit evaluators. The exhibition may serve as a model for other museums that are now developing permanent exhibitions about environmental issues and other topic issues in science.

科学技术中心协会与富兰克林研究所科学博物馆合作，向国家科学基金会申请360,523美元，以支持一个关于全球气候变化的大型动手巡回展览。这个占地3500平方英尺的展览将为广大公众提供有关全球变暖的准确、平衡的科学信息，并深入了解其经济和社会背景。这样做将有助于激发许多关心我们环境未来的年轻博物馆参观者对科学和数学的兴趣。在为期两年的美国11家科学博物馆巡展期间，约有200万公民将参观展览。展览前在每个地点举办的研讨会和补充计划规划的教育材料将帮助主办博物馆扩大展览的影响。ASTC和富兰克林研究所有非常成功的合作巡回展览项目的历史。我们将得到一群杰出的顾问、一家领先的动手科学展品开发商和博物馆经验丰富的展品评估员团队的协助。这个展览可以作为其他博物馆的典范，这些博物馆现在正在发展关于环境问题和其他科学主题的永久展览。
