Science museums have traditionally been places where visitors can learn about science and technology through interactive exhibits and educational programs. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in visitors' needs, expectations, and experiences in science museums. Visitors today are more likely to be looking for immersive and engaging experiences that go beyond traditional museum exhibits. They also want to be able to learn about science and technology in a way that is relevant to their own lives and experiences.
This session will discuss the changes that have taken place in visitors' needs, expectations, and experiences in science centers and museums. It will also discuss how science centers and museums are adapting to meet these changes.
