And that's just the fun stuff. I'm also making the 2011-2012 budget, getting to know our terrific staff and volunteers, and starting up a few small participatory projects to launch us into being a more community-driven institution. Board committee meetings. Film festival openings. Historical landmark ceremonies.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects?

We've been offering a host of participatory and interactive experiences at the Museum of Art & History this season. I loved Jasper Visser's list of 30 "do's" for designing participatory projects earlier this month. Artists work incredibly hard to produce their work. This isn't even participatory. It's just fun.

There are many participatory experiences that appeal primarily to adults, and they are designed distinctly for adults.

Recently, I was giving a presentation about participatory techniques at an art museum, when a staff member raised her hand and asked, "Did you have to look really hard to find examples from art museums?

Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off. But many videos reinforced common stereotypes about science museums, full of bouncy evangelists in lab coats pressing the "science is fun!" It's great that you'll blog for the museum and have fun learning with kids.

We use these stories to try to understand objects and the people who own and use them, and to poke a little fun while we're at it.

Give away the fun (and easy) part. I think the reason we hold onto the idea generation part is because it's fun, not because it's the activity in which we have the most specialized expertise. To produce that content, I put an ad on craigslist and invited artists down to The Tech to be videotaped while creating art.

I think one of the fun things about YC is that between every batch, we survey our founders, and we ask ourselves, “How do we make the damn thing better?”. So the meeting has become more participatory. I asked, “Why don’t you have a button that just lets me pay an artist on Spotify and your whole problem with musicians goes away?”
