Facilitating a staff workshop for OMSI in Portland, Oregon, was a fun challenge. They were embarking on a complete re-creation of their Technology Hall (now called Innovation Station), and found it helpful to think about a wide variety of formative evaluation strategies to inform planning and design. The new Hall appeals to women and girls just as much as it does to men and boys - that was one of the project's big goals.
