Venue: InterActivity 2010 Headquarters: Crowne Plaza St. Paul – Riverfront Hotel; St. Paul, MN
Neuroscience confirms that play significantly effects the development of a young child’s brain. Social science studies indicate that play helps a child build interpersonal and self-regulation abilities. Futurists point to the global economy and the need for a workforce that can imagine, innovate and empathize. As leaders in early childhood education, children’s museums engage infants, toddlers and children through play to think critically and creatively. Exhibits and programs provide children with tangible interactions that challenge them to accomplish small and large feats. Museum outreach and community partnerships ensure that children of all backgrounds and abilities find ways to play and learn about the world in which we live. The results of these efforts yield dramatic rewards — children with critical cognitive, motor, social and emotional competencies that enable them to reach their full potential and to be ready to participate as 21st century learners and contributors.
Peter L. Benson, president and CEO of Minneapolis-based Search Institute, will address how children's museums can help build Developmental Assets in youth through exhibits, programs, advocacy and partnerships during the Saturday, May 8, 2010, plenary session at InterActivity.
Hosted by Minnesota Children's Museum.

Venue: As a host city, Oklahoma City offers unique examples and inspiration.
Oklahoma offers the perfect locale for examining how the winds of opportunity can alter an economy, change a life, or build a community. As home to major oil and gas producing giants, Oklahoma is keenly aware of market fluctuations and national trends. As energy prices skyrocketed in 2008, it also allowed the oil and gas industry to increase their support of cultural and arts activities. Some of the companies that experienced dramatic revenue growth shared some of those profits with museums and cultural entities resulting in substantial support for the development of new museums, renovations, exhibits and program support, and contributions to endowments.
The Winds of Opportunity will gently embrace you in Oklahoma City.
