Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

The San Jose children's Discovery Museum will engage its region's diverse communities to help re-imagine the museum's core exhibition, "Streets of San Jose," to reflect dramatic demographic, environmental, and technological changes to its community since the exhibIt's creation 25 years ago. The museum will provide visitors with a more meaningful experience and promote STEM learning by presenting opportunities for visitors to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to important questions facing the community and beyond. A combination of outreach and on-site events; workshops with staff, board, and key stakeholders; an innovation team from high tech, urban planning, human resources, arts, and interactive exhibit design industries; and exhibit prototypes will inform and advance the project and culminate in a Conceptual Design Plan that reflects intensive community engagement and stages the launch of the museum's next 25 years.
