Again all kit still needs to be PAT tested, I would guess a suitably set up laptop could demo the games, any photos of the animals / birds etc, can be taken by us and perhaps released on a creative commons license, as would the html stuff, (this would encourage people to adapt and improve the resources) I guess a letter to the faclity pointing out a recent visit, lack of interactive displays which then leads on to the solution, would be a good approach.
