Floor 1 of Glasgow Science Centre
This was the largest of Glasgow Science Centre's original 4 interactive galleries. The gallery title was Exploration and Discovery, and most of the exhibits concerned classical physics - mechanics, optics, fluids, electricity and magnetism etc. On opening, it contained nearly 100 exhibits. I was the member of GSC staff responsible for working with the exhibit contractors to deliver the gallery content.

As a freelancer, I was engaged as science consultant on this collaboration between Glasgow Science Centre and Explore@Bristol. I worked on the exhibit selection, prototyping, some building, and I also wrote most of the texts.
