Over more than two decades, I've learned so much from working with Amanda Krantz and others on the Kera Collective team on three NSF-funded museum exhibitions for the Smithsonian. Amanda and her colleagues bring specialized knowledge and skills plus objectivity, flexibility, and good humor to every project. They collaborate closely with each team to develop robust tools for conducting front-end, formative, and summative evaluations tailored to project messages, goals, and audiences. As a bonus, their experience with doing NSF Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) grants is particularly helpful for planning, implementation, and, yes, all the bureaucratic paperwork. Highly recommend working with Kera Collective on any museum evaluation project!
