"Highly creative, well thought out, well executed educational
interactive. Beautiful design, excellent animations, multiple
levels of information and possibilities for experiencing the interactive
different ways... Fabulous--multiple experiences, appeals to senses
and intellect of all ages."
A Tip From the Producers:
"The tip with any very hands-on interactive that uses buttons,
joysticks, T-bars etc and is thrown open to the public saying
"come and have a go", is to design and build it to the
highest standards of durability. The scale goes something like
this - Home; School; Industry; Military; Museum. Raincheck 3000
was built to Museum specifications, and it had to be!"

"This was a well done digital piece with specific detail
to image and navigation. Very accessible to a majority of audiences."
Website: http://www.mbayaq.org/cr/seafoodwatch.asp
The judges said:
" This was an awesome example of what a quality web page
should look like, including instinctive navigation, Well written
text and beautiful graphics…. A website you can actually
USE – now, there’s a wacky idea!"
A Tip From the Producers:
"One benefit of having the Seafood Watch program online with
such rich content is that it can become an educational tool for
a variety of uses. We have received emails from many high schools,
home economics classes, college professors and even chefs operating
cooking schools about how they have incorporated our content into
a learning experience for their students. This is tangible evidence
of the effectiveness of expanding the program's reach through
our web content."
Kiosk
The judges said:
" What a great way to demonstrate the sounds of nature...an
easy interface with an appeal to all ages... The fact that guy
is just a guy – not serious, not geeky – felt very natural.
Imitating sounds is a really neat activity. But even neater was
being able to see and compare sounds. Very good for its age-range."
A Tip From the Producers:
"The visualization provided by the two sonographs really
helps the visitor appreciate the subtlety and complexity of animal
sound."
CD-ROM
The judges said:
"This was great. It was like seeing a sky show on my PC.
And while the images were spectacular, it wasn't just about the
images. The content was great, too -- interesting, clear, well-presented,
and wonderfully illustrated with these great photos."
A Tip from the Producers:
"With the ViewSpace project we have found, to our delight, that museum
audiences will linger for long periods and drink in Hubble's amazing views
of the universe. The essential accessory to our program is comfortable
seats!"
Installation
The judges said:
" I loved this. I would have been caught playing with this!
Delivering the morphing film as a reward--instills the idea of
change over time in a very fun and dramatic way. Integrates exhibition
concept with an activity very well."
