The attract mode was programmed to illuminate the large button, in sync with the animation on the screen. The button is programmed to glow at various times within the program to assist younger learners as they use the program.

Document My Visit is an electronic exhibit designed for three-to five-year-olds. A camera and microphone record images and audio as young learners are prompted to share their work. A print-out sticker contains a Web address that families can take home to view their picture and sounds on the Web. A custom large single-button interface allows most three-to five-year-olds to go through the exhibit with little assistance from parents or museum staff.

Ideum worked closely with the Liberty Science Center and S2 Associates to develop this exhibit, which is in the Young Learner Gallery. This new space is part of the science center's expansion scheduled to open to the public in July of 2007.
