This winter, I once again taught a graduate class in the University of Washington's Museology program. In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. You can explore the projects in full on the class wiki. This year, we took a different approach. All the photos in this post are on Flickr here.

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? Teens are a known (and somewhat controllable) entity.

Way better than that video at Museum X where the director drones on about the new initiatives of the year. This article sparked some interesting discussion online with colleagues from natural history museums, which deal with damage and touching very differently than art institutions do.

A former superintendent of such a district, he explained the basic premise to me: each student, from kindergarten on, has a personal laptop. The schools have open wireless internet, so each student has continual access to the Web. To understand more, I turned to Elaine Gurian's article The Molting of Children's Museums?

A museum holds a free program in a semi-public space. Last weekend, my museum did a little pilot of a new program, Downward Draw. We held a free yoga class in the plaza outside the museum and invited artists to come and draw/paint the yoga-doers in motion. Ready for a math problem? How many people participated?

There are lots of great science museum resources, but not where these kids can walk after school. Over 30% of our staff statewide are either former Workshop students or parent volunteers. For example, the Exploratorium is an extraordinarily participatory museum, but it''s not nearly as participatory as a Community Science Workshop.

On Sunday April 5, I’ll be conducting a collaborative experiment with 15 intrepid University of Washington graduate students, and I’d like to invite you to join in from your own hometown. I want to connect these students to a larger group of people interested in exploring topics around social technology in museums.
