Discovering42: Inclusive interactivity
Bringing together a research team of people with experience of living with disabilities which affect mobility, Discovering42 is investigating existing challenges and limitations around interactive exhibit design in museums and science centres. The research team will then go on to devise innovative and inclusive solutions.
Inclusive Interactivity
Project goals:
- Working with a partner organisation, bring together a diverse focus group living with physical disabilities
- Document shortcomings in current exhibit design which hinder the engagement for the focus group by visiting some major science exhibitions in England
- Commission an artist and other professionals as needed to support the focus group to research, design and build three new interactive exhibits

Through supported collaboration with an artist and other specialists in integrative design, the project hopes to see the creation of three new interactive STEM exhibits for visitors to Discovering42’s Cornwall site.
