This report contains two aspects for the improvement of the Owela Display Centre: two guided-tour pamphlets and a restroom exhibit. The brochures provided supplementary text to the exhibits and the exhibit in the restrooms increased the museum's aesthetic appeal. We also improved community involvement with the museum by engaging underprivileged students in the creation of the exhibit. Not only did our projects benefit the museum, but also the students who were exposed to a technical life skill and new possibilities.
