Join us on Saturday, November 7th, 2009 for a day of fun at the Saint Louis Science Center!
We will be hosting a World Usability Day event at the Saint Louis Science Center. There will be booths for kids and parents of all ages. Have fun at the Science Center and learn about usability and its impact on sustainability.
Anyone who is interested in usability or sustainability and want to be involved? Join our Google group to help plan and volunteer! http://groups.google.com/group/world-usability-day-st-louis?hl=en
This event will be made up of hands on exhibits to teach adults and children about usability and sustainability. Exhibits will include: Thermostat Challenge: Valuable energy and millions of dollars are wasted each year on unnecessary heating and cooling. Is your thermostat to blame? Help us evaluate different models, and try to beat the buzzer when setting up a programmable thermostat. Flushed with Pride: As precious natural resources get depleted, our awareness and need to find products that conserve these resources increases. The movement towards toilet redesign and water conservation is what these displays, videos, and handouts are targeted towards. Sustainable Pups: The Mid-America Rottweiler Rescue organization will showcase well-designed products for dogs, test your knowledge and award you with prizes in a game of Build the Sustainable Pup, and offer you a meet and greet opportunity, weather permitting, with a warm, loving and friendly rescued Rotty.
