General Description:

Surveys were completed by 19 visitor groups at the Science Museum of Minnesota during the March 2007 NISE Exhibits and Programs Workshop. Groups were invited to use the Crystals exhibit and then complete a survey together.

Major Findings:

The formative evaluation of the Crystals exhibit found that none of the visitors were able to describe one of the big ideas, and none used the word nano when describing what the exhibit is about. Less than half (42%) found some relevance of the program to their lives. The majority (37%) of visitors thought that the program was “somewhat easy” to understand. One third thought the exhibit was enjoyable, and one quarter thought that it was not enjoyable.
