UCAR/NCAR Kiosk
Description and Benefits:
Install a science kiosk in downtown Cheyenne. This kiosk should be on a main tourist route, preferably on a walking route. The kiosk would showcase science done at UCAR/NCAR, provide general weather/environmental education and supercomputing center tour information.
UCAR/NCAR would benefit from the extra publicity to a ever-changing tourist population while Wyoming could benefit from having an additional tourist destination. If installed prior to the opening of the facility, this could be a bridge to the local communities understanding of UCAR/NCAR's mission.
UCAR's role:
UCAR would provide the kiosk and the programming necessary to support it. It might be possible to share this cost with the city.
External roles:
City of Cheyenne: Provide a viable location for the kiosk. Provide information within the city's tourism center pointing tourists to the kiosk. Add the kiosk to the tour maps.
Research Conducted:
This would be similar to the kiosk featured in the 29th Street mall in Boulder.
