PROBLEMS
• There are not many (it costs lots to built one)
• You can not stop and teach children (they are like pingpong balls).
• They are much closer to entartainment than education (they look like a playgorund with a science theme).
SUGGESTIONS
• Shoud not be profit aimed, should be public service.
• Should not be just a show, should have educational purposes.
• Should not be a place to visit, should be a place to stay.
• Should not be just a science center, should be seen as a chance to educate youth at a different environment.
