Welcome to the wonders of Robot Zoo, a traveling exhibit based on the book by the same name and
developed by BBH Exhibits, INC., in San Antonio, Texas with sponsorship from Silicon Graphics,Inc., in
Mountain View, California, and Time magazine, New York.
To help guide you we have placed preparatory or pre-visit activities early in this guide. We've also
included one activity that focuses on some of the animals on display in Robot Zoo. Activities that require a bit more
knowledge or that can be used to assess students' learning have been placed at the end of this guide. The glossary
and list of references may be helpful when planning your Robot Zoo adventure.
