Touch, Test, Transform: Creating and Prototyping Interactive Museum Experiences

Wednesday, November 19, 2025

12:00 - 1:00 PM EST

What turns a museum visitor from a passive observer into an engaged participant?  Great interactive experiences — and they don't happen by accident!  In this fun and fast-paced program, we'll explore the essential elements that make exhibits truly interactive and dive into the essentials of the prototyping process that brings these ideas to life.

During this webinar, you'll not only take away new ideas to use at your own institution right away, but you'll also meet E.L.V.I.S.!

MANY's 2025 virtual programs are supported by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation (rdlgfoundation.org).
