Surprisingly, parts of the museum that were extremely cool programmatically such as Text Rain and the Wooden turning blocks were absolutely zero interest to kids.   Our Night table would work in the area near the dodging lights because it is dark there, After seeing what kids gravitate towards however, I don’t know if kids will like our project a lot.  We’ll see though!
