This exhibition represents a few big shifts for us: We used a more participatory design process. Our previous big exhibition, All You Need is Love, was highly participatory for visitors but minimally participatory in the development process. Without further ado, here's what we did to make the exhibition participatory.

In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery. When activities were not facilitated, people were often too timid to interact.

When I talk about designing participatory experiences, I often show the above graphic from Forrester Research. These are all active social endeavors that contribute positive value to the social Web. Museums see open-ended self-expression as the be-all of participatory experiences. And yet many museums are fixated on creators.

The best participatory projects are useful.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? If your activity is compelling because it involves gimmicky new technology, it's not a good activity.

Using audience research and even participatory design, where we engage end-users in early-stage design, we help organizations break out of their own internal ways of communicating. Design should not only look good; it should actively help audiences move up a ladder of engagement. Create visuals that engage.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? But the difference between the two examples teases out a problem in differentiating "participatory design" from "design for participation." In the first case, you are making the design process participatory. In the second, you make the product participatory.
