JOIN US for the ami cohort 2027
A movement of more accessible, playful museums begins with a community of dedicated museum practicioners. Join our AMI cohort to work with other museum professionals to build a game or interactive for your space, hone the craft of audience engagement and share and refine ideas together.
together, making museums more engaging
Begin with a question about audience engagement. Work through your question by building an interactive prototype with a professional design studio. Test your prototype with visitors at your museum, and do it all in a guided cohort program while you learn and share together with other museum professionals.

Final cohort exchange and sharing
begin with a question
What would you like to know about visitor engagement in your museum? How could an AMI prototype help you explore that question? Maybe you’d like to find new ways to bring your art collection to life. Or perhaps you’re curious about how to connect with and engage a wider range of communities. What could you experiment with through Project AMI?
test with visitors and share your results
Organise playtests with peers from other museums to discover what works, identify what could be improved, and exchange feedback to refine your prototype and inspire new ideas.
Build a prototype
Pick an AMI prototype and work with your cohort through a four-week design period. Kellian Adams Pletcher from FableVision Studios will accompany you to bring your team’s idea to life!
