Koshland Science Museum

The Marion Koshland Science Museum and Web site not only provides some of the best science materials on the Internet today, it allows visitors, especially educators, to find the specific materials they need quickly and easily.

Objective Consulting, Inc. provided a number of J2EE based tools to help manage the museum's site and make the content more interactive. A dynamic events calendar, rotating fun fact highlights and knowledge management services help ensure visitors know about the impressive online and in-person museum activities. Content and version management tools allow the museum to easily and safely make changes both at scheduled times and on an ad-hoc basis. A new database driven teachers and learning section allows teachers to rate and provide feedback on education activities.

The museum is operated by the National Academy of Sciences, a private, nonprofit organization created by a congressional charter in 1863 to advise the government on scientific and technical matters.
