ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We are interested in holding a children's focus group to gather feedback
about the Museum and school programs from the students'
perspectives.We've never done anything like this before, so we were
hoping for some tips from those of you who have done a kids' focus group
before.
 
What kind of structure/format/questions would you recommend using for
the discussion?
Were there any things that worked particularly well?   Any pitfalls to
avoid?
