Exhibition

What visitors experienced

By the last weeks the work moved off the wall and into the room. These are the pieces that decided what a visitor did, heard, and felt at each station.

Visitor Experience Map

Plan the visitor's path, not the decoration.

Before the exhibition, each group mapped what a visitor does, sees, hears, and is asked at the station — the order of the experience. It moved a group from “what is on our poster” to “what does a visitor actually do here.”

P4C Question

A question with no quick answer.

Each group posed one open, arguable Philosophy for Children question at the station, so visitors had to think and talk, not just look. It turned the station into a conversation.

Forms of Expression

Feel it before you read it.

One student built a clay model for the mental-health station, made to provoke an emotion about the topic rather than explain it. Some ideas land harder through feeling than through a paragraph.

My Opening

The first thirty seconds.

Groups planned and practiced the hook they would open the talk with, using AFOREST to make it land. If the opening is flat, visitors drift — the opening earns the rest of the talk.

Exhibition Highlight

What they were proud of, and what was hard.

After the doors closed, students wrote what they were proud of, what was hard, and what they would change. The friction is where the learning shows.
