Alice in Nanoland 2010 Formative Evaluation

The Science Museum of Minnesota’s Theater Department developed the book and storytelling play "Alice in Nanoland" for younger museum audiences. The age range for the story were 4-7 year olds, as the actors stated, "This program is best suited for 7 year olds and younger." Through the spring and summer of 2010, the actors have performed the show on the museum’s floor for formative evaluation testing. Eighteen pairs of parent and child surveys and interviews were collected to assess how well the program was conveying information about nanoscience and nanotechnology to the younger visitors and their parents
