Hemlock Semiconductor and the Dow Corning Foundation have approved $100,000 for a solar exhibit at the Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum.

Phase I of this project will be completed in early 2013. The interior Solar Spot will feature a three dimensional illuminated sun fixture. Age-appropriate information panels placed in strategic locations near the south-facing windows will entertain young visitors and educate the older ones. MMCM guests will gain a better understanding of the types of solar panels available as well as a brief summary of how the panels convert sunlight into energy. The centerpiece of this exhibit will be a colorful interactive element and energy gauge.
Phase II is located outside the facility in the south courtyard. A sun-shaped patio will be shaded by an outdoor canopy featuring a combination of solar panels and colored mesh shades. The seating area beneath the canopy will provide a shaded area for MMCM guests. A distinctive solar flair will greet MMCM visitors as they enter the building. Viewed from inside the building, the flair and outdoor canopy will integrate the solar story with exhibit elements inside.
