The culminating experience of the Lab is the Imaging Station. This is where you create a digital image that summarizes your own findings and provides a means to retrieve the data later.

   Here is how the Imaging Station works. There are six computer stations that make up this exhibit area, which is sponsored by Radio Shack. These stations run an interactive multimedia program that collects your findings step by step. What you observed in the Field Site and learned in the Lab will be used to create a picture of the past. After the fundamental data is collected, you can personalize your image creatively in a number of ways. For instance, you can add different numbers of animals and plants, place them in different locations, etc.

   The Imaging Station lets you take a bit of your Lone Star Dinosaur experience with you. After you have left the Museum, you can again access your image using any computer with an internet connection and the code provided at the Museum. That way, you can share your findings with classmates and family members by printing out the image or showing it to them on screen. You can even make the image avscreensaver, a greeting card, or a class science project. The possibilities are endless.
