MEDIA MANIA

In partnership with The Herald Palladium, WNDU Television, and WSJM, Mid-West Family Broadcasting, The Curious Kids' Museum announces a brand new exhibit called MEDIA MANIA. Imagine that you are the evening news Television anchor—haven't you always wanted to announce the news, the sports and especially the weather? Imagine you are a newspaper reporter getting the scoop on the latest mystery in town. Or perhaps you're more the radio DJ type, announce fun activities around town as you intro into a real, full length well known music track. Kids and their families will be able to practice these fun, life skills and much more with real media technology.

MEDIA MANIA features a variety of fun learning and skill-building exhibit activities for kids from age 1 to 100. Goals: Learn to write the news, Practice your broadcast presentation, Past to Present to the Future—what is in store for the media now? Here is a preview of what's in store for visitors:
