Seeking Parents to Interview for Healthworks Museum Student Research

on behalf of Maria Di Pasquale:

I’m teaching a class this semester working with Healthworks Kids Museum downtown to identify opportunities to improve the museum and bring more visitors there. Students in my class are looking to interview parents with young children (up to approx 8 yrs old) to find out your needs and wants in regards to places where you can take your children to entertain them. It doesn’t matter if you have visited Healthworks or not. If you wouldn’t mind participating, students will contact you to schedule a short interview at a convenient location, (with or without your children), say perhaps a park or playground where your kids can play at the same time.

For families who haven’t been to Healthworks, you can also schedule your interview there and have your family enjoy the facilities at no cost. Your initial thoughts on visiting the museum for the first time will be of great interest.

If you can help us out, please email me at  aconrado@nd.edu  with your name, and contact info (email and/or phone number) and a student will contact you in the next few days. The interviews will take place over the next two weeks. Thank you so much!
