The Explanade was operational from Wednesday, August 30 through Saturday, September 2, 2006. Much of that time, it was filled to capacity with visitors, many of whom viewed all the exhibits, patiently reading and doing the experiments. Thanks to Lost Penguin camp for hosting us in their space, and to the volunteers who helped set it up and take it down.
Much of the description in the earlier links below is out of date. The exhibit was scaled back to nine displays, and the tent scaled down to 8 feet by 20 feet, due to limited time, effort, space, and money. Some ambitious displays were simplified. A poetry panel was added, to provide different perspectives on the fundamental questions addressed in the other displays.
