What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings.

This project wove together many different participatory threads. The lessons I learned from Lost Childhoods are at the heart of the OF/BY/FOR ALL project we're building now. We'd love to see this model evolve and grow. Short story: we learned a lot. We wrote a toolkit about our process. You can download it for free right now.

Outcomes, indicators, metrics, logic models, flow charts galore – measurement and evaluation are in season these days. One of the biggest lessons it learned was the need to set sharp and clear goals at the start. The Outcome of Our Outcomes – guest post by Victoria Vrana.

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 attended because I'm seeking new ways to share the MAH's model and support the development of more community-centered cultural institutions around the world. I learned a ton at Skid Row School, but the lesson that still keeps me up at night is this one: when you want to scale and spread a model, you have to distill it to its essence.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. Participants voted on the questions that would be most important for the Brainerd Foundation to consider in its strategy: How might we adopt a hybrid model of new and old power? How do we leverage the “rain” of culture change?3.

To make this model work, there was another IRC backchannel that streamed audio from the conference and someone did the equivalent of live tweeting. It also means that I can't stubbornly soldier on with a lesson plan if it is bombing. One of the reflections. I also watch for when the energy drops, etc.

I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My strategy is: make it work really well, research what works and doesn't, and share the design lessons with the world. My model is the shining star. Maybe not. His is the virus.

Now that the dust has cleared and the kids are banging on the exhibits (and showing us what we have to change next), I have the time to step back and share some of the lessons learned from this experience. Here are my top ten lessons from The Tech Virtual experiment with regard to design exhibits with a community of amateurs.

It also has some interesting lessons about collaboration in design; there's a lot of acknowledgment and discussion about the positives and negatives of bringing new technologies (digital audio manipulation) into a classic venue (radio). And that makes it feel much more participatory. They make radio a discussion, not a tutorial.

Today, both of these models are threatened, and within 50 years they will no longer be sustainable. Why are our current models failing? Together, these lessons paint the picture of a future museum or library: a safe, comfortable live venue for discourse about content. On the experience side, we’re being out-competed by retail.
