How can an exhibit be interactive?
6 tips
1. Attention
Eye-catching, inviting, intriguing
2. Inclusion
Can everyone interact with it?
Will a kindergartener know what to do?
3. Shared experience
Can more than one person use it at the same time?
4. Multimedia
Could there be two or more of your senses engaged?
We often think of visual and auditory (what we can see, what we can hear) but could you include smell, taste or touch?
5. Ease of use
Is it easy to understand how to interact with the exhibit?
6. Clarity
Less is more! Ask yourself what is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING you want the viewer to know or experience.
Brainstorming:
Change the size! Make it super big or super tiny
Costumes, for you or something a viewer can try on
Make and take - a quick simple craft
Play - Since you are exploring history act it out - Barter or trade, shop in a store, cook something, make something, wear something, learn a game from that time period
