DB Next question I've got to speed it up. I'll try, I'll try and give it
a bit more, you know, energy and enthusiasm.
BS: What is that you want the visitors to take away? What are they going
to get from coming to Techniquest?
((pause))
DB If they, if they - if I could change someone's idea that, that
science is something that they maybe, can't do and it's not accessible. If
someone can go and, they won't, they won't make the link in their head "Oh,
I've done that, that means science is accessible." But if, if they're just
given that kind of experience that - the reason an exhibit's got to work is
that when they walk up to an exhibit if it doesn't work people go away with
the idea "Oh science doesn't work. I can't, I'm not a scientist" you know
"I'm not clever enough to do it." They will blame themselves. If they go away
from the exhibit thinking, "I've achieved something with that exhibit" whether
it's, sending a rocket up the wire or, or realising that something they predicted,
from the rules that they've learned about an exhibit actually happens in real
life in practice, so the magnet picks up the bit of iron but not the bit of
plastic, so they can anticipate that. I think more than millions of gold stars,
that's fantastic. With any - if I do that to one in ten people that come through
the door that's great.
