Project Manager Kurt Feichtmeier:


At the 2002 and 2003 National Science Teachers’ Association annual convention, EDAM was one of the highlighted Exploratorium resources showcased at the Exploratorium booth in the exhibit hall. Teachers were shown a preview of the EDAM collection.

Project Manager, Kurt Feichtmeir, participated in an IMLS-sponsored panel at the 2004 American Association of Museums annual meeting in New Orleans. Feichtmeir’s presentation highlighted lessons learned through the course of our National Leadership project, using a slideshow and PowerPoint presentation, incorporating digital assets from the project-developed collection.
