Henry David Thoreau once said that our lives should be replete with adventures, discoveries, and experiences. We try to keep that in mind at WOSU, and we are thrilled to announce a new venture—WOSU@COSI—that we feel confident will be chocked full of adventure, discovery, and experience. What's more...we invite you to come along for the adventure!

COSI prides itself on giving its visitors a “COSI experience,” and in like fashion, when you visit WOSU@COSI, you will have a WOSU experience: a visit to WOSU@COSI means a visit to the exciting new world of digital broadcast. You'll be able to tour a working television and radio studio, and parents and children will experience exciting hands-on digital media activities, exhibits, and media literacy workshops that will education, inform, entertain, and inspire WOSU@COSI visitors. The grand opening is earmarked for September of 2006.

Bang! Drill! Buzz!
The familiar sounds of demolition and construction can be heard behind the walls of the future site for the WOSU Digital Media Center located at COSI. With only months away from opening, the digital media center will bring a new element of science to COSI…educating, inspiring and engaging the community on the elements of the science behind broadcasting. In addition to interactive and fun exhibits that will surely pique the interest of children young and young at heart, the new facility will also offer the community a wonderful opportunity to experience public broadcasting live.

Lights! Camera! Action!
With the on-site studios being only steps away from public viewing, visitors will be able to see live productions “in action.” Live productions are not only relegated to those programs we air on our stations or broadcast on our airwaves. We will also have “a public space” which we look to invite community partners to utilize in formats that are limited only by imaginations. Instructional musical performances to entertain the eyes and ears as well as public civic discourses to educate the mind, encompass the tip of the iceberg of what WOSU will offer in this new public space.

Construction progress continues both inside the space and in the hallway, as the pictures below illustrate...
