The <strong>EDGE</strong> Design Attributes<br />
Following are the nine <strong>EDGE</strong> Design Attributes,<br />
those that emerged strongly from the<br />
large-scale research study as the most important<br />
for engaging girls at STEM exhibits.<br />
Across the 300+ exhibits and 100+ design<br />
attributes we studied, girls were much more<br />
engaged when any of these nine attributes<br />
were present, and much less engaged when<br />
they were missing. The order in which we<br />
present these attributes does not signify<br />
their level of importance.<br />
Not every exhibit can or should include<br />
all nine attributes, but including several<br />
of them when they make sense for a given<br />
exhibit should help your museum better<br />
engage girl visitors. We hope people working<br />
on exhibit design will explore which<br />
attributes are synergistic with each exhibit’s<br />
content and consider adding or enhancing<br />
as many of them as makes sense.<br />
