MBanks: Good Morning Everyone! Michelle Banks, African American Firefighter Museum in Los Angeles, CA.
BCarter: What adjustments are you making as a result of Covid 19?
MBanks: How does this approach  translate to or connect  with an online digital experience?
MBanks: Any thoughts on use of augmented/virtual reality to achieve that signature moment.. slowing the visitor and providing that visceral “touch” moment?
GCollins: Good to see you as well
SPage: Yes. That is a great point. More or Better Communication
BFriedman: So so sorry to be late. This is great. Our museum, The Birmingham Black Radio Museum,  is an on line archive with files accessible by appointment. We are asked to have space in the newly renovated historic Carver Theater in Birmingham adjacent to a jazz station in the building. All of the engagement discussions are right on time as we meet with designers. Is Monadnock you, Mr. Bressler?
Claudia Levin: Steve Bressler is the Creative Director of Monadnock. 413-247-6447 www.monadnock.org
 Claudia Levin: steve@monadnock.org, alan@monadnock.org
Claudia Levin: Anyone should feel free to write us and we’ll be happy to answer any questions that didn’t get addressed today. Thanks for joining!
BHouse Soremekun: My question has to do with how you are able to accommodate different age groups in the use of media and technology. Most of the people in the photos that you presented that were using the touchtone features were millennials or members of generation z individuals. How do you engage baby boomers and members of the greatest generation in these high tech exhibits?
