We decided to approach the label-writing for these boards in a participatory way. We can certainly write a decent label based on this activity. It was the activity that drew this person (and probably others) to the surfboards—not the objects themselves. But one post-it threw me for a loop.

Giving the audience a chance to interact and discuss content in full groups, share pairs, and small groups allowed for some great stories to emerge from the group.

Let's discuss what it means, how it works, where it can go. There are huge positives to tapping into these networks (which we've discussed here before), including connecting with visitors "where they are" and co-opting easy-to-customize applications for museum purposes. In this case, it's debatable. Some reasons include.

Rock climbing (safely) is a two-person activity. But I don’t know of any programs or staff whose role is to connect visitors with each other, to instigate discussion among strangers.

I think the reason we hold onto the idea generation part is because it's fun, not because it's the activity in which we have the most specialized expertise. People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory.
