About a year and a half ago, some kid mailed his Flat Stanley to the Franklin Institute. All mail not otherwise directed goes to Finance to be opened. When they saw what it was, Finance sent it to Museum Programs. Museum Programs then directed it to Workshops. Then the Workshops Manager assigned the project to me.
So I set about taking Flat Stanley on adventures. One of a kind experiences he could only have at the Franklin Institute.
We went to all of the most notable exhibits and activities that people want to see when they visit the museum. And we used our secret access to get a guided tour of the Curatorial Vault that has items like the Wright Brothers' Airfoils and shards of the Hindenburg. The Franklin Institute's Chief Astronomer, Derrick Pitts, even gave Stanley a tour of the Observatory and showed him how to use a telescope.
In the end, I made Flat Stanley play with electrical charges on the Van de Graaf Generator.
