Assignment Overview
Take your 1-3 ideas/concepts and start fleshing them out based on the brainstorming session in Class 2
What questions do you want to ask?
How do you envision this project looking, smelling, feeling, hearing, tasting … ?
Start research to find out where it fits in the world of research (how is your idea different than what already exists in that genre) and develop/build a concept map
Research Diary:
Start your research diary. Look at your area of interest, what are the terms used, who are the people, where do you find their work, what looks interesting. Record all your observations in the Research Diary. Gathering as much as possible
Do this 3 times for an hour each. In books, journals, and online and other media

Fleshing Out Projects
Fleshing Out Projects
When reflecting on my potential two topics, I realize that one is far less developed out than the other, but currently more interesting to me: museums & technology. I've been going back and forth mentally on if it's even worth doing and what form it would take as the first idea (pop-ups & museums) takes a backseat. Firstly I'm very scared that it won't be "innovative" enough and I'm also worried that I'll need to take a content-first approach, which may make the end result less flexible to apply to different museums.
Questions that pop-up in my mind:
Is there a way technology could be used to make musuems more interesting to millennials + Gen-Z's in a museum?
What are the expectations of using technology in a museum? How does it differentiate between the different types of cultural sites?
Some forms it could take:
A website?
How would this be different than other museum websites?
What would live there?
An app?
Would users even want to download this?
A physical piece of hardware + web app?
Is this too big in scope?
