Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. The guide, Vi Mar, was an incredible facilitator.

What if it isn't what I expected?

To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers.
