<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The BCMA is excited to invite you to the second instalment
of our monthly webinar series, presented in partnership with the Royal BC
Museum and Archives! Join colleagues
from around the province on May 16 for “Activate Your Exhibition,” presented by
the Beaty Biodiversity Museum’s Yukiko Stranger-Galey and Derek Tan. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This webinar also falls on day 3 of <a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/professional-development/upcoming-events/bc-museums-week/bc-museums-week-schedule/">BC
Museums Week 2017</a>. We will be
exploring Cultural Exchange and Museum Partners throughout the day – what better
way to participate than joining this webinar and learning from your colleagues?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Webinar Description:</b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you encourage participatory interactions with your
exhibit? Using examples from the Beaty Biodiversity Museum’s temporary
exhibitions, this webinar will describe a suite of simple, self-led, and
scalable activities that can be easily incorporated into exhibits when
big-budget interactives or educator-led programming aren’t available. What
worked, what didn’t, how did we build it, and how much did it cost?<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yukiko Stranger-Galey is the Exhibits & Design Manager for
the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at the University of British Columbia, where she
develops exhibits that celebrate the wonder and diversity of the natural world.
The opportunity to share the stories of the people, organisms, and objects in
our world inspires her every day.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Derek Tan is the Digital Media Specialist at the Beaty
Biodiversity Museum. He has a background in biology and visual arts and
currently designs, illustrates, and produces collaborative content for
deployment across physical and digital platforms.<span></span></p>
