Change Your Game / Cambia tu juego Alpha Phase Research: Designing for diverse museum visitors’ identity exploration around inventiveness

November 2nd, 2023 | RESEARCH

Researchers gathered audiences’ responses to prototype displays and inventor stories for the Game Changers exhibition (Change Your Game | Cambia tu juego). The exhibition was developed by the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the National Museum of American History. The findings informed a theoretical model of identity exploration in informal learning contexts and contributed to the final design of the exhibition.
