SMART Boards
Hello!
I am from the Columbus Area Children's Museum. We had a potential donor reach out asking if they could sponsor an exhibit that uses Sharp brand AQUOS Boards.

Museum Youth Councils
Good afternoon!
I'm excited to share that I work at The Grand Rapids Children's Museum, where we're currently embarking on an expansion project to build a new facility from the ground up. As part of this journey, I'm eager to establish a museum council that welcomes students to contribute to various stages of creating our new space!
If your museum already has a youth council, I'd love to connect and gather insights to help shape our initiative.
Looking forward ...

Said: @jennifer appleby Chu - we have a quick question we ask prior to the transaction... It's connected through Outlook Forms and an app on our IPAD.... so frustrating with Square!

Said: We also use Square and are grappling with this question ourselves. Since Square doesn't seem to have a popup question tool right now I'm almost tempted to set up a separate tablet at check-in where the visitor can enter their zipcode th...
