The London Science Museum team designed an entire exhibition and then left a few open vitrines at the end for visitors to contribute their own toys during the run of the exhibition. This may sound obvious and natural, but it’s easy to underestimate the power of institutional culture.

When I watch the videos teens created at the Exploratorium and post on YouTube, I see the aspects of the exhibits they thought were most important to share with their classmates. Here are three examples of changes you could make: Change the language and presentation of comment cards. Without good listening, these all sound like risks.

Last week, I wrote about the ways that dogs can be useful social objects --and you had lots of good comments and input. Sure, it's social, but people stick to their own "pods"--families, teens, adults--and don't diverge or merge. But since the spaces are largely open, it feels threatening to approach strangers.

As always, I welcome your questions and comments. We made a giant mobile for the center of the museum out of origami birds folded from visitor comments received in the past year. We tried collecting dreams, collecting smells or sounds or stories, but memories was most resonant. Digital Collections comment wall.

It sounds as if Mr. Sametz is frantically casing city streets with a heat-seeking metal detector, on the hunt for a miscellaneous batch of confused folks whom he can stun into "connection." We're always happy for more bodies in the door, but if supporting teens means alienating seniors, there's a problem. Open your doors really wide.

Seemingly without thought, cymbal hand and kazoo mouth sounded in time with keyboard hand and horn foot. Last week, I asked what are the barriers to keep us from throwing open the doors. I hope to hear you articulate your thoughts in comments or on social. They can’t throw open the doors. There are plenty. BTW, Thank you.

We prototyped the most complicated interactives (the Love Styles quiz and Hearts to Hearts game) with visitors in the months leading up to opening. We cut it in the first week after opening. This sound installation is delightful and adds surprise to the museum. We spent a long time prototyping this one.

So send in your questions and comments. I know we were on earlier for our sound check, but I hear a little bit of a buzzing sound. It sounds so impersonal. And so we don’t want those predictions to come through at all, and grant funding is one way literally to help you keep the doors open. I will do that.

COVID-19, even though things are opening up and hope is kind of on the horizon, it has changed how, and why, and how much we are online. Things are opening up. If you have a tween or a teen, I’m sure you’re familiar with TikTok. This is something that we know. Now, this might be changing. Okay, TikTok now.
