USS Constitution Museum

The USS Constitution Museum will share theory, techniques, resources, and best practices that have proven to be successful at engaging family audiences at history museums. The project will include two daylong “Idea Incubators,” which will feature experts in programming for family audiences and exhibit techniques to encourage family engagement; five Family Learning Across the Nation workshops; and an expansion of the familylearningforum.org Web site -- an online resource of 100 successful family programs as well as transcripts, videos, podcasts of the Idea Incubators, and links to supporting resources. Dissemination and communication plans will enable the project to reach over 1,500 museum professionals nationwide.
