As an institution that centers and understands play & learning for children, we feel we are uniquely positioned to build exhibits that take into account the different ways that both adults and children learn and find the areas that bring the two together. If we can show a connection between design and extending family engagement, we feel that future work in this area will allow us to pinpoint and share methods for designing exhibits that center intergenerational learning.
