Science exhibits struggle to engage visitors of different ages

A single level of detail and mode of interaction cannot serve visitors with different levels of knowledge.

Research area: Space Science Outreach and Research TerminalsProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Define content levels for basic understanding, deeper exploration and specialist reference.
  2. Structure the experience around multiple entry points and levels of explanation.
  3. Conduct age-segmented visitor research to refine information and interaction load.

Key Deliverables

  • Layered content architecture
  • Interactive entry points
  • Visitor testing

Verification Approach

Compare comprehension, dwell time and requests for help across groups.
