Science Center of Iowa

The Science Center of Iowa will create new institutional standards for bilingual labels, graphics and engagement. Working in collaboration with a Latino/a Advisory Committee and with the help of paid interns, the project team will create new style guide that outlines inclusive language and interpretation for exhibit signage and communication tools.  The center will hire an exhibit coordinator to participate in research and development of the style guide for use in writing, editing, and graphic design of exhibit labels to accommodate bilingual text. Staff will also receive cultural awareness training and engage in outreach to local Hispanic communities.
