All,
I think this is an excellent and ongoing challenge which was discussed in-depth a few years ago at ASTC under the leadership of Carol Lynn Alpert - in part centered around formative and summative evaluations of the Current Science & Technology Center at the Museum of Science, Boston.  There were many good lessons learned and I would recommend (with apologies for apparent self-promotion) as background reading for the continued discussion the final evaluation report that can be found at http://informalscience.org/images/evaluation/report_224.PDF
Cheers,
Martin

Hi all,



I would like to propose a session for ASTC 2014 on creating exhibits
based on current science or science research.



Are there other people creating exhibits or exhibit areas in partnership
with working scientists who would like to share some tips, tricks,
procedures or methods?



Please contact me if you are interested in being a part of a panel
discussion at ASTC 2014.



Thanks



Mary
