ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Sandia National Laboratories is teaming up with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.

The two have signed a memorandum of understanding in which the lab will help identify and develop programs and exhibits that focus on space exploration, renewable energy, water and nanotechnology.

The museum will evaluate initiatives of interest to Albuquerque and the region.

Lab director Paul Hommert says Sandia and the museum have a common interest in exposing young people to science, technology, engineering and math. He says the agreement signed last week serves as a vehicle to strengthen the relationship that the lab already has with the museum.

In the past year, Sandia pitched in $70,000 for technical equipment to help provide museum visitors with state-of-the-art learning in science, technology, engineering and math.
