The article examines the impact of the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, California on students' social development, their attitude toward science and their interest in science. The Exploratorium has hired teenagers to serve the museum in an unusual role. Chosen only for their enthusiasm and diversity, the students have been given the most difficult task in the museum. The students' job is to explain exhibits on physics, perception, and biology, and to answer questions from many visitors each year.
