Institutions like the Boston Children's Museum (which she helped lead in the 1970s) drew heavily from and worked in partnership with the "open classroom" movement to develop informal educational models that are interactive, open-ended, and individualized. Why haven't children's museums pushed past the 1970s model?

I’ve been facilitating design labs for nonprofits and foundations, and continue to be excited about them because it is a way to generate feedback and ideas that can improve a strategy or program in service of the participants being served. In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. In this report, the authors describe three specific models for public participation: contribution, collaboration, and co-creation. This isn't just a rhetorical question.

Whenever we show and tell, we pass things between us, and in this model of sharing values we may begin to understand how museums are trusted with public commons as much as they are with public meaning. Elsewhere’s challenge today is how to continue modeling the public commons by practicing social exchanges through our set of things.
