Public Interactions with Living Laboratory

Last updated on March 8, 2017 - 8:22am

Tracking Your Impact: Participants & Educational Opportunities defines how to track different kinds of visitors who experience Living Lab.

The Impact Form is for researchers to record their interactions (with visitors and staff) while at the museum. It can be complete during the shift (e.g. using tally marks to note each interaction), or at the end of the shift (e.g. noting the total number of interactions in each category). Print out a copy of the form, and have it on hand for researchers in the area where Living Lab takes place.

The Log Template provides a convenient way to compile weekly or bi-weekly updates about the Living Lab program at your site. Museum staff at Hub sites share such reports via email, with all staff involved in the Living Lab program at their site.

Many sites use Participant Stickers to help keep track of visitors who have contributed data to studies during their visit to the museum - we provide a template for printing such stickers (designed for an Avery style 5294 template).
