This proof-of-concept project is a collaboration of the Museum of Science in Boston, WGBH's National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) and Ideum. The project will demonstrate that the project team can design and develop digital interactive museum exhibit devices that work for visitors who have a wide range of disabilities. The outcome will be one "exemplar" exhibit based on an exhibit scenario where museum visitors learn STEM concepts by manipulating and analyzing real data. The project will also develop and test the efficacy of a prototype Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Toolkit that will help other museum professionals implement the digital interactive strategies. In addition, the project will produce a white paper on the specific exemplar and a research paper with guidelines for digital interactive exhibits in museum. The project uses an innovative workshop approach that brings together individuals from a diverse range of fields to develop the digital interactive strategies. After developing the "exemplar" exhibit, the team will develop the DIY Toolkit and test the efficacy of the Toolkit in museums that do not have the same level of exhibit development resources as larger institutions. The the project's evaluation will not only determine if the exemplar works well with a wide range of people with disabilities, but also determine the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of the workshop strategy and the ability of other museums to use the DIY toolkit.If successful, this project will attend to an area of high need in the informal science education (ISE) museum exhibit community and provide a resource that will serve a wide range of ISE institutions. If the project evaluation outcomes are positive, the project will lead to a larger effort to develop more exemplar exhibits based on different scenarios and an expansion of the DIY Toolkit.

概念验证项目是波士顿科学博物馆，WGBH国家访问媒体中心（NCAM）和iDeum的合作。 该项目将表明，项目团队可以设计和开发数字互动博物馆展览设备，这些设备适用于各种残疾的游客。 结果将是一个基于展览场景的“示例”展览，博物馆访问者通过操纵和分析真实数据来学习STEM概念。 该项目还将开发和测试原型制作（DIY）工具包的功效，该工具包将帮助其他博物馆专业人员实施数字互动策略。 此外，该项目还将在特定的典范中生产一份白皮书，并提供一份研究论文，其中包含有关博物馆数字互动展览的指南。 该项目使用创新的研讨会方法，该方法将各种领域的个人聚集在一起，以开发数字互动策略。 在开发了“示例”展览之后，该团队将开发DIY工具包，并测试该工具包在博物馆中的功效，而博物馆的展览开发资源与大型机构的水平相同。 该项目的评估不仅将确定示例是否与各种残疾人一起效果很好，而且还确定了研讨会策略的成本效益和功效，以及其他博物馆使用DIY工具包的能力。如果成功，该项目将在知名科学教育（ISE）博物馆提供一个范围内的范围内，并提供了一个范围的社区，并提供了一个广泛的资源。 如果项目评估结果是积极的，那么该项目将导致更大的努力，以根据不同方案和DIY工具包的扩展来开发更多的示例展览。
