Josh and I had a major brainstorming session tonight, trying to figure out our focus and what information we want to present. We came up with a possible display after looking at a Pinterest board Josh found and went from there. We thought asking a question and then having visitors answer with post-it notes would be a great way to see what they took away from our exhibit. We also decided it should not be a question purely based on the facts that we presented but on the concept and what it meant to them.

Hey Kara,

So before our meeting tonight, I was doing some searching on the internet on just some maybe back up ideas for our interactive exhibit. I know that we had originally planned on using a mock soccer game to facilitate the idea and the celebration of the Christmas Truce of 1914 during WWI. I still want to create an exhibit around this historical event just because it is the anniversary and I think that an exhibit related to this would really interest people being the Holiday season when we give our exhibit its actual test. I did some good searching and stumbled across a pintrest (haha I know...weird for a guy to go on there) page and it actually had some pretty cool examples of some interactive exhibits that I think we could maybe model after or combine a few to create our own original idea. Here's the link though, let me know your thoughts on any of the exhibit examples. Nonetheless, I will see you tonight in the library for our brainstorming session!
