Chicago Museum of Science and Industry reviewing Accessibility of their facility and programs - volunteer opportunity

The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is looking for assistance as they work to make the Museum a more inclusive experience for everyone. Details are below from a flyer.

Do you love the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry? Then let's work to make it an even more inclusive experience for all people!

Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is working with the Institute for Human Centered Design to do a comprehensive and holistic review of their facility and programs. We are looking for User/Experts from the greater Chicago area to work with us on reviewing the museum. A user/expert is a person who has developed experience by means of their lived experience in dealing with the challenges of the environment due to a physical, sensory or cognitive functional limitation or disability. We are looking to recruit both local primary user/experts as well as “secondary" user/experts who can be a friend, spouse, family member, service provider, therapist, teacher, or anyone who has extensive experience sharing life with primary user/experts and paying close attention to the interface with their environments. 

In addition of having a free day at the museum all user/experts will receive a stipend for working with us as design consultants. 

To learn more please contact Willa Crolius at wcrolius@ihcdesign.org or call 617-259-1655.
