Free-choice learning is a significant contributor to the continued acquisition of scientific knowledge for adults. A majority of the public visits science museums, but these institutions traditionally are not equipped to keep up with the rapid pace of scientific research, nor are they seen as a place to find out the latest information. The Current Science&Technology Center (CS&T) at the Museum of Science, Boston, Massachusetts, is one experiment to change this situation and engage the public with research as it happens. Opened in 2001, CS&T is an evolving entity that seeks to reach visitors, both real and virtual, by offering opportunities for engagement that address a variety of learning styles.
