This hands‐on workshop invites participants to learn about inclusive design principles and develop basic accessibility assessment skills. In the first half, participants will employ accessibility standards developed at the Canada Science and Technology Museum and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to evaluate various exhibits. Findings and ideas for remediation will be shared in small group discussions. In the second half of the workshop, participants will use interactive design process to develop an inclusive exhibit or activity. This will include idea generation, mock‐ups, testing, and re‐ 5 designs. The workshop will close with a roundtable discussion focusing on best practices for museums hoping to improve their site’s accessibility and capacity to work inclusively. Throughout the morning, participants will be encouraged to ask questions, work collaboratively, and solicit feedback on their ideas.
