The California Science Center is a hands-on museum where children and their families are inspired by science.

Andrew Dunn began with the California Museum of Science and Industry in 1993 and stayed on through its reinvention into the California Science Center.

From 1996 to 1999 he oversaw the development, production and installation of the video and computer exhibits (60+) for the new California Science Center facility.

The programs vary from a large laser and video show to an interactive kiosk where visitors can learn how to balance personalized food pyramids.

Andrew worked closely with one large production company, Chedd-Angier, and six other specialty companies to create all of the exhibits. He also coordinated with a great integration company, BBI, for the installation of the equipment and programming of show controllers.

While at the science center, Andrew helped develop content and some of the audiovisual exhibits for two traveling exhibitions Special Effects II and Balancing Acts.

He also played a key role in the development of the center's Web site; consulting with Pop Multimedia on the initial design and production and then managing a small in-house team for the continued development of content.

Interactive Arts spent 2 years taking time-lapse footage of the construction of the new science center and worked with Andrew to edit it into a 5 minute video presentation.

Andrew created the graphics and programmed the Science Center's Information Display system. This is just a slide show of a few screens, the real version is much more involved.

This is the Surgery Theater exhibit. Footage of real operations is projected onto a plaster patient. Kids love it. Grown-ups squirm.

Here's a screen shot from the MIDI Jam exhibit where kids get to play real musical instruments and interact with the computer program to change the way the instruments sound during playback.
