What perceptions and expectations do adults have when it comes to educational and fun digital engagement for children and families? This session will explore how one children’s museum used research and evaluation to approach an extensive redesign of an exhibition to integrate digital interactive experiences.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a better understanding of adults’ perceptions and concerns about digital engagement for children in museums.
• Learn about potential challenges and steps forward to plan digital exhibits for children in your institution.
• Reflect on how you currently use (or do not use) digital engagement in your institution, and learn how to decide whether a digital format is best for achieving your goals.
