Night Kitchen’s Director of Learning Strategies, Stacey Mann, presented a session titled "Walk the Walk: Using Learning Theory in the Exhibit Design Process" at last month’s AAM conference. The productive session was a great success and was very well received. Presenters challenged attendees to consider various types of learners when programming exhibits, encouraged exhibit designers and museum educators to communicate with one another, and explored methods for using educational theory to inform the exhibit design process. The presentation also provided attendees with practical steps to help identify audiences, learning goals, and achieve buy-in from stakeholders and decision makers at their institutions.
