The simplicity with which, in a context of play and group knowledge, they know how to connect direct experience of the natural world with the use of technology - audiovisuals, computers, the internet - it is an example of how we all could live better the opportunities and challenges of our time. Children have so much to teach us.
The founder of this Museum, relied heavily on fieldwork with children for his publications, not only dealing with the environment, nature and education, but also more generally with technology and active citizenship.

This is publishing, and today we are all publisher, often unaware, even when we simple write a post or upload a picture in our profile somewhere on the web. Here we consider aware publications, coming from a project, professional, semi professional and amateur, directly connected with the activities around our Museum or interesting for the work that can be done for example in schools, because they provide cues and ideas. Some are for children, other more for educators, and many for everyone!
