Congratulations to the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago (MSI)!!! Last night at the American Alliance of Museum’s annual conference, Future Energy Chicago won a Gold MUSE award, which recognizes an institution that uses Media and Technology to enhance an experience and engage an audience. “[T]he Muse awards celebrate scholarship, community, innovation, creativity, education and inclusiveness.”We are proud to have been a part of Future Energy Chicago from the beginning, collaborating the MSI team, media partners Potion Design and Donna Lawrence Productions, as well as multiple specialty consultants, to create this unique exhibit experience that uses media, interactive technology and collaborative gaming to imagine our energy future. Bravo everyone!

Hosted by Nik Honeysett, former chair of the Media and Technology Network, representatives of the Future Energy Chicago team spent an evening of irreverence and celebration at the 25th Annual MUSE awards at this year’s American Alliance of Museums  (AAM).  Shari Berman of EVD shared the event and the Gold MUSE Award  with our partner in all things daring and bold, Kurt Haunfelner, Vice President of Exhibits and Collections at Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, along with Abbey Palmer of Potion Design. (You may not have recognized us in our disguises.)

PS:
We’d like to give a shout out to Mike and Doug of Awkward Family Photos. Highlights from their hugely popular website warmed up the crowd. We are now enlightened and will visit often.
