The Exploratorium and the Museum of Life and Science will develop, evaluate and implement Science of Sharing, a three-year full-scale development project designed to bring the scientific study of human social behavior to a broad public audience. Science of Sharing will create new ways for visitors to experiment with social psychology and will generate important information for informal science institutions committed to involving visitors in discussions of personal, societal, and scientific responses to real-world challenges.Science of Sharing addresses a critical ISE issue: creating ways for visitors to experiment with inquiry based exhibits and activities that heighten public knowledge of the study of human social behavior. Based on research in social psychology and game theory, the project (a) fosters public engagement in activities exploring collaborative behavior and resource sharing; (b) promotes awareness of connections between these experiences and STEM-related research in psychology and economics; and (c) links individual behaviors to real-world issues of resource depletion and group conflict. The primary audience is youth and youth-adult museum visitors, with particular focus on underrepresented communities with limited access to communication technologies. The secondary audience is ISE professionals with interest in new kinds of interactive experience and visualization tools focusing on social behavior and techniques for fostering social interaction and public discussion of science.The project will (1) conduct front end evaluation to assess visitor attitudes and knowledge about issues of cooperation and resource use; (2) design, prototype, and evaluate 15 inquiry-based exhibits and 4 Experimonths (public events with web, museum, and community-based components on social-psychological topics); (3) conduct design-based research to investigate aspects of these exhibits and activities that prompt self-reflection and build metacognitive skills; and (4) work with local school districts to adapt exhibits for classroom use.

探索馆和生命与科学博物馆将开发、评估和实施共享科学，这是一个为期三年的全面开发项目，旨在将人类社会行为的科学研究带给广大公众。 共享科学将为参观者创造新的方式来实验社会心理学，并将为致力于让参观者参与讨论个人、社会和科学对现实世界挑战的反应的非正式科学机构提供重要信息。共享科学解决了一个关键的 ISE 问题：为参观者创造方法来实验基于探究的展览和活动，以提高公众对人类社会行为研究的了解。基于社会心理学和博弈论的研究，该项目 (a) 促进公众参与探索协作行为和资源共享的活动； (b) 提高​​人们对这些经验与心理学和经济学领域 STEM 相关研究之间联系的认识； (c) 将个人行为与现实世界的资源枯竭和群体冲突问题联系起来。 主要观众是青少年和青少年成人博物馆参观者，特别关注通信技术机会有限的代表性不足的社区。 第二受众是 ISE 专业人士，他们对新型互动体验和可视化工具感兴趣，重点关注社会行为和促进社会互动和公众科学讨论的技术。该项目将 (1) 进行前端评估，以评估访问者对合作和资源使用问题的态度和知识； (2) 设计、制作原型并评估 15 个基于探究的展览和 4 个实验月（包含网络、博物馆和基于社区的社会心理主题组成部分的公共活动）； (3) 进行基于设计的研究，调查这些展览和活动中促进自我反思和建立元认知技能的方面； (4) 与当地学区合作，调整展品以供课堂使用。
