At Liberty Science Center, we believe the growth of mobile phones in the public domain provides the opportunity to expand the museum learning experience into a new dimension, allowing guests to engage with exhibits in a completely new way. Using their mobile phones as tools for learning, we are encouraging guests to interact with exhibits, retrieve extra content, and extend their learning experience – not only within the Science Center’s walls but even after their visit – through this learning companion we call Science Now, Science Everywhere (or SNSE, pronounced sen-say).
