A new robot is excited to have a permanent home at the Museum of Discovery but is sad that it doesn’t yet have a name.  The Museum is asking the public’s help to find the perfect name for this great addition to the museum? Submit a suggestion today (contest open through January 14 at noon.) The contest winner will receive a museum prize pack and a co-starring role in a video with the newly-named robot!

1. Keep it clean!

2. Keep it unique. We love famous robots such as R2-D2, WALL-E and Johnny-Five too but want our robot’s name to be an original. That way, we can avoid confusion (and trademark infringement).

3. Submissions must be made between January 3 through January 14 at noon. A committee will choose the best robot name suggestions and the public will vote on those names from January 16 through January 24. The winner will be announced on Saturday, January 25.

4. Submissions can be made in the following ways:

• In person at the Museum of Discovery
• Tweeting @arkmod with the name suggestion and #nametherobot
• Posting the name suggestion on the Museum of Discovery’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MuseumofDiscovery
• Emailing the name suggestion to kdelaney@museumofdiscovery.org with the subject line: Name the Robot

5. One submission per person.

The winner will receive four Museum of Discovery passes, an Explore Store gift pack and will appear in an official museum video with the robot.
