what is fingertip hands-on exhibits all about ?

about informal learning
in free choice settings, by all senses, playfully, for everyone.

about content
chosen and translated for visitors in an understandable and meaningful way.

about interactivity
between visitor and exhibit and between the visitors themselves
by inviting visitors to try out something new, connect to their personal interests
and get inspired by the exhibit and by other visitors.

about open activities
for just browsing or spending a longer time
exploring, touching, smelling, observing, constructing, discovering, thinking, laughing.

about multiple layers
with connecting points for diverse audiences
in age, background, interests, experiences, motivation
while maintaining consistency in content.

about the details
of the concept and the design.
that is, researching, developing, testing, observing, adapting
until the hands-on exhibit really works
in respect to content, ergonomics, mechanics, logistics, aesthetics.

about quality
with long holding times and memorable experiences,
in short, about more than pressing a button.
