Please join us for a book club-style discussion of 2025’s Screven Award winning article for a Visitor Studies Publication: “Co-Construction of Iteration Through Failure Moments: Interactions Between Educators and Visitors.” In this article, the authors describe a study exploring how museum educators co-constructed iteration through failure moments with visitors during an engineering activity. The article has relevance for visitor studies practitioners and informal educators seeking to support visitors in the failure-learning process.

Conversation will be directed by the interests and input of participants.  We encourage you to come ready to share your thoughts and raise questions! 

FREE for members and nonmembers!
