Learners Involved

• the age of the average learner that this was directed at was between 6-14 as this was part of the Royal Ontario Museum March Madness Camp, so school age child were the direct focus. As a result, however, the parents and guardians of these child were also targeted. We made sure to include activities that appealed to these young age groups, but that we also had enough interesting information to interpret to a wider audience.
  
• we encountered hundreds of children and adults daily. It was an extremely well attended event!

• since we were an exhibit part of a larger event, we had to make sure that we had enough of a WOW factor. We accomplished this through the use of many “touchable” items that kids could handle and manipulate. We also included dissections of birds that were killed because of human causes. Not only did this give us the chance to talk about the remarkable physiologies of all birds, but it also gave the opportunity to discuss about human causes of bird mortalities.
