TechThinkTank is a blog created to offer media providers, tech companies, and individuals a voice in the evaluation of vendors, within the emerging media field, by the National Park Service as part of Renaissance of Interpretation. This is a public service offering by Creative Entity as part of Incredible Places Made For the Media ™ Suite of Interpretation Tools. As part of the outreach for our program, we are inviting providers in these sectors to express ideas and create conversation around collaboration in order to help inform the National Park Service about their products and how they see themselves being involved.
