Lastly, being able to use our bodies and minds in new ways stimulates innovation. Beyond the immediate future, we will most certainly see AR gear and physical triggers take up less space over time—tablets to phones, glasses to contact lenses, and at some point, maybe the only tool we’ll need is our brain. Don’t miss out on bbcon 2017.

My goals are two-fold: to develop a dynamic, creative, social platform for my community and to distribute its successful elements to other civic learning institutions (museums, libraries, community centers). And then at the end, when she asked how many of us could do this in our own museums, no hands went up. We loved it.

I used to teach gadget workshops for kids in museums. In fact, I’d argue that by saying “If something starts to smoke…” in the beginning of each workshop, I introduced an element of suspense to what otherwise might feel like a pretty “safe” activity—a museum program.

And yet, over the last few years, as the web has unlocked piles of information, a quiet group of math-minded designers are figuring out how to interpret the vast impersonalness of data and make it both beautiful and meaningful. But when it comes to presenting data, most museum folks believe that over-interpretation is necessary.

alpha brain waves game I always see at ASTC. How could museums be part of this? Two ways immediately come to mind: 1. There are lots of science museums with exhibits that provide simulations of exactly these phenomena. And there are also many museums touting their green architecture etc.

Our volunteers are the heart and soul and brains and heavy lifters (figuratively and-- when you have boxes of books involved-- literally) of our organization. Never mind your work experience, what do you really want to be doing that the library can help you accomplish? We start each official meeting with introductions.

Again, how many of you have attended an event or go to a museum? It’s how my brain works. And I bet if you shoot her a quick note, she won’t mind that at all. And you read my mind on the retreats thing because I was thinking about orientation as well. Very linear thinker over here. Steven: I love it.

Actually I’ve found that in most cases people would rather you say no and then change your mind to yes then the other way around." Apparently, it takes 21 days of repetitive activity for your brain to accept new behavior as a habit.

This year, the American Association of Museums annual conference was in Los Angeles (my hometown). I hosted two sessions, one on design for participation and the other on mission-driven museum technology development. He started with museums as a "place to go"--to see things, consume experiences. In this case, a heck of a lot.

On Tuesday, I'll be chairing a session at the AAM (American Association of Museums) conference called Eye on Design: Inspiration from Outside the Museum , in which we will feature creative and intriguing design elements from worlds away from museums--guitar stores, baseball stadiums, and more. It's not always pleasant.

Well, that 80%, 60% of that money goes to large institutional organizations like hospitals and universities, and large cultural institutions, like museums, zoos, and libraries, and religious organizations. So these are key things you want to keep in mind. They’re top-of-mind ownership. Plus, it’s super competitive.

Museum work includes many intellectual labors that draw on deep reserves of knowledge and years of experience. Your old prejudices and hang-ups, your own beliefs about credentials, are hanging out in your mind, no matter how you try to avoid it. Understanding work, time, and efficiency in museums aren’t easy or universal.

You've probably heard of the Creation Museum , opening tomorrow near Cincinatti. The Creation Museum is itself a creation of the Answers in Genesis ministry, and has the most unique museum mission statements I've ever seen. Museums, especially science museums, are places that seek to engage the mind, not the heart.
