resource research Media and Technology
The ISE PI Summit 2008 gathered some of the top leaders and thinkers in the U.S., representing the diversity of informal science education. To leverage this opportunity, time for discussion group sessions were provided such that Summit participants could discuss, share, and innovate with others about (1) current and upcoming projects, as well as (2) how to move the field of informal science education forward. The list of discussion group topics were chosen based on the number of respondents on the 2008 ISE PI Survey (n=108) who offered to lead them.

resource research Aquarium and Zoo Exhibits
To find out if zoos and aquariums successfully promote conservation, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) formed strategic partnerships and undertook a three-year, nationwide study of the impacts of a visit to a zoo or aquarium. We found that going to AZA accredited zoos and aquariums in North America does have a measurable impact on the conservation attitudes and understanding of adult visitors.
