This project brings together academic and practice partners to offer advice and tools to support the evaluation of children and young people’s programmes in museums and galleries using automated surveys. The team is led by Dr Eric Jensen and Dr Kate Noble. We have been working in partnership to develop resources that integrate the practical needs of museums and galleries with high quality evaluation and research methods.
