Environmental Management Operation Clean Desert Display
 What
does the display offer?
The Environmental Management (EM) Kids Display was created to help
explain to elementary school age children the different types of cleanup
activities that take place at the Nevada Test Site. Clean up activities
are necessary at the Nevada Test Site because of past nuclear testing
activities. Through the use of animation and interactive pieces the
display takes a highly technical topic and turns it into an interesting
and informative tool for children and adults to learn.
Who created the display?
In order to gain a fresh perspective on information given to the public,
the EM program teamed up with Advanced Technologies High School in Las
Vegas, Nevada to form the EM Student Forum. The Student Forum is a pilot
program which was created to help the EM Program provide understandable
outreach material to stakeholders. During their first year, the students
came up with a concept of a kids display with a comic book theme. The
students developed the characters, wrote the script, and did the
animation for the exhibit.
Who benefits from the Display?
- Students
- Teachers
- After school programs
- Libraries
- Museums
How big is the exhibit?
The dimensions of the display are 11' wide, 7' deep and 8' tall. The
display will need a large, secure area for setup. The best location for
the display is a highly visible area with a steady traffic flow and can
be locked up during off hours. To gain the most from the display it is
suggested that it be available to visitors for at least one week.
