Please post a comment to the blog by next class (5/2), reflecting on how the science communication strategies and framing recommendations described in the reading inform your design thinking and the messaging for the exhibit experience you are developing.
Optional Reading: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2017. Communicating Science Effectively: A Research Agenda. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. https://doi.org/10.17226/23674. The two assigned readings describe different methods for engaging people in the development of design ideas.
With reference to ideas covered in the readings, please describe how you might want to explore your team's exhibit concept in development. What would you like to test out in the museum to see how visitors respond to and experience your prototype? Review Local Projects site and projects. Prepare 3 questions you’d like to ask Erik and John, submit as comments below for discussion.
Optional Reading BoW Title: The Digital Pen Design Documentation https://labs.cooperhewitt.org/tag/the-pen/ Reflect on how the mixed methods Personal Meaning Mapping techniques described in Falk & Storksdieck (2005) paper could be adapted as a front-end research technique to help your team better understand visitors’ conceptual models, interests and motivations in relation to your exhibit topic.
Take a few minutes to think about what we've covered in class so far, and what we've heard from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History about their exhibition goals for We Are Nature: Welcome to the Anthropocene. In reviewing the selected exhibit concepts Becca provided us, which one(s) appeals to you as a starting point developing an engaging exhibit experience? What more do you need to know about the topic or visitors to be able to further develop this concept.?
