Hi Katie,

We are currently working on an exhibition to engage 10-14-year-olds and
their families in mathematical thinking. We're finishing up formative
evaluation right now and have developed some promising approaches to
engaging this age group. Attracting them to a science center is a bigger
issue, of course. We are working on ideas for overall exhibition theme
and narrative to help address this.

Let me know if any of this sounds relevant and I'd be happy to provide
more information.

Hi all- We're looking for (hopefully hard data) on exhibits, events,
activities, shows, etc. that have proved successful, even if for a short
time, at attracting that oh-so-elusive teen/early twenties without kids
audience to museums and their programming. Please let me know if you
have any great ideas that have resulted in planned or unplanned
increases in attendance from this audience. 

Best,
Katie Stofer
