It’s been a tremendous four years for the Perot Museum of Nature and Science as nearly 5 million guests from throughout North and around the world eagerly entered our doors for a day of inspiration and illumination. Creative initiatives, intriguing guest speakers, enlightening research, and exciting exhibitions keep our institution at the forefront of science and nature innovation, while the continued growth of established programs has further cemented our educational importance in the region. We are proud and grateful to be a meaningful community resource for learners of all ages, but aren’t satisfied to coast along this successful path. Instead, as a dynamic and energized organization, we are gaining momentum by focusing on new and exciting ways to expand and connect. Every day, thousands of students from area schools arrive to have their brains amazed during a field trip to the Perot Museum, but our education connections don’t end there.

REAL SCIENCE | 7 INCREASING ACCESS AND DEEPENING COMMUNITY IMPACT BEAM ROBOT

Standing approximately 5 feet tall on wheels, the Perot Museum’s most popular “intern” this year was “SuperBot,” a BEAM (biology, electronics, aesthetics, and mechanics) telepresence robot so nicknamed by the Volunteer Services team who managed it. SuperBot allows children and adults whose illness or disabilities prevent them from traveling to the Museum to explore at their own pace, whether they live a few blocks or hundreds of miles away. In April 2016, the Perot Museum began providing weekly SuperBot tours (with rave reviews!) for pediatric patients at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas and continue to accommodate requests from users as far away as California.

Through a BEAM app, virtual guests connect to SuperBot and control its movement through the Museum via keyboard or game controller. Through high-quality microphones and high-resolution lenses, these guests can interact in real time with specially trained Perot Museum team members walking alongside SuperBot while panning and zooming in on everything from dinosaur fossils to rare gems. The Perot Museum is the first museum in North Texas to use this technology, and we plan to explore additional applications for SuperBot while the device is under lease.

FY16 SNAPSHOT | 13 TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS

Traveling exhibitions afford the Museum an opportunity to expand on topics found in our permanent exhibit halls, as well as to introduce other subjects. These special exhibitions offer our patrons a deep dive into very specific content. They also create an energetic buzz and an engaging atmosphere to show that we’re always offering something new! The selection process for these exhibitions is structured to equip our guests with interesting scientific content from credible institutions considered experts in certain fields. In the past year, we hosted two traveling exhibitions — one from the American Museum of Natural History and the other from our own internal experts who spearheaded our first self-curated exhibition.

CREATURES OF LIGHT: NATURE’S BIOLUMINESCENCE From the flickering fireflies you once captured in your backyard in a Mason jar to the iridescent deep-sea creatures in our oceans’ darkest depths, the magical world of bioluminescence came to life in Creatures of Light. This immersive exhibition explored the natural phenomenon of “living light” across a vast array of organisms. Through a series of re-created environments, from the familiar to the extreme, it explored the diversity of organisms that glow and uncovered explanations of both how and why they generate light.

Creatures of Light: Nature’s Bioluminescence is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Canada, and The Field Museum, Chicago. Presented locally by Highland Capital Management.

EYE OF THE COLLECTOR Every object and specimen tells a story. In Eye of the Collector, the quirky, crafty, historical, and fashionable objects of 15 very different people came together to show that the recollections they have of their prized possessions are at least as valuable as the collections themselves. Major highlights include signature pieces from seasoned collectors Nancy and Randy Best, which took visitors on journeys through time — including paleontological specimens such as a towering skeleton of an extinct cave bear, early hominids, and pre-Columbian artifacts and weapons. The Museum’s first self- curated exhibition gave guests a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity to discover these diverse and fascinating private collections.

The Museum has inspired nearly 5 million minds since opening in December 2012. With your help, we can inspire a million MORE minds in the coming year! Please consider making a gift to the Perot Museum to help us keep the momentum going.

Your gift could help the Perot Museum acquire a new specimen, underwrite a research expedition, help make the Museum accessible to schoolchildren, bring a real-world explorer to North Texas, and so much more! Each donation is meaningful and impactful — and, most importantly, immediately put to work supporting our mission to inspire minds through nature and science.

Thank you so much for your consideration of continued support of Perot Museum programs and operations. We truly could not achieve any of it without your generosity!
