This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. A black box with people crowded around, talking and sharing and making and doing. Invite each other in.

Last week I facilitated a workshop in Detroit hosed by Co-Act , a nonprofit collaboration space in Detroit. Their space is designed for local nonprofits to connect, share ideas and develop solutions together. My style of teaching is participatory; I don’t lecture with PPT endlessly and involve the audience.

This immediately led to cross conversation. But participatory facilitation can be taught. Tags: personalization participatory museum.

Part of this is practical: you can''t facilitate making and tinkering for 30 kids if you have to hand them everything they need. For example, the Exploratorium is an extraordinarily participatory museum, but it''s not nearly as participatory as a Community Science Workshop. But there also is a sense of community ownership.

While "final" versions of these prototypes would need to stand alone on the sidewalk, the best prototypes are facilitated.
