There was no initial design, no graphics, and no idea of where the teen' work would fit into an overall structure. Find a way to control the structure, even if it's artificial. And the adults thought (as many would) that this was an opportunity, not a setback. Sharpen the criteria based on your needs.

I spoke to them on different days, so I've taken some liberty with structure here, but their words are maintained intact. The whole process of developing an exhibition tends to get stuck behind a museum's doors. A community site in its truest sense, where anyone can post a review or case study.

I cut out from the meeting by myself to check out an exhibition called Open House, if These Walls Could Talk at the Minnesota History Center. If there was a way to engage these deep emotions in the context of science museums, then there is an opportunity to expand our impact. How did you make decisions about how to structure the story?
