In August the Oklahoma Museum Network was launched.  Funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, the Network is a statewide collaboration of five partner museums working together to provide hands-on discovery learning and science education resources to families, students and educators across the state.  Over the summer Tom Noddy, the âBubble Guyâ, toured all five Network museums (Science Museum Oklahoma, Jasmine Moran Childrenâs Museum, Leonardoâs Discovery Warehouse, Museum of the Great Plains and the Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium) finishing his tour at the Museum of the Great Plains on August 22-24.  Following his final show, Tom spent some time talking to the Museumâs Curator of Education, Jana Brown.Tom Noddyâs Bubble MagicMusic byJonathan Coulton
