Pleasure Driveway & Park District Of Peoria (Peoria Playhouse Children's Museum)

The Peoria PlayHouse Children's Museum will collaborate with the University of Illinois to evaluate and improve the experience of visitors in its Real Tools makerspace exhibition area. The project will produce a syllabus for training staff in open-ended facilitation and build staff capacity to create and use evaluations, which will ultimately affect all the museum's programming. Project activities will strengthen the museum's relationship with the University of Illinois, and provide museum staff the opportunity to learn from the university's expertise in evaluation, makerspaces, art education, and more.
