The Exploratorium will develop exhibit designs that encourage visitors to become more cognitively engaged with exhibits -- to use exhibits as tools for self-directed exploration, rather than as authoritative demonstrations. To do this, the staff is drawing on new work in the fields of education, visitor research, human factors engineering, computer interface design and interactive exhibit development at other museums. The Exploratorium proposes to conduct evaluative research and exhibit development that maximizes possibilities for visitor-authored questions, activity and discovery, or active, prolonged engagement (APE). The project team plans to create 15 new exhibits and renovate an additional 15 exhibits in the physical sciences. The team will strategically position the exhibits to support active, prolonged engagement throughout the collection. Although the project focuses on physical science -- the most fundamental part of the Exploratorium exhibit collection -- the results will apply to exhibits in nearly all science disciplines.

探索博物馆将开发展览设计，鼓励参观者更多地参与展览-将展览作为自我指导探索的工具，而不是权威性的演示。 为此，工作人员正在借鉴其他博物馆在教育、游客研究、人为因素工程、计算机界面设计和互动展览开发等领域的新工作。探索馆建议进行评估性研究和展览开发，最大限度地提高游客撰写的问题，活动和发现，或积极，长期参与（APE）的可能性。项目团队计划在物理科学领域创建15个新展品，并翻新另外15个展品。该团队将对展品进行战略性定位，以支持整个系列的积极、长期参与。 虽然该项目的重点是物理科学-探索博物馆展览收藏的最基本的部分-结果将适用于几乎所有科学学科的展品。
