- Abstract
The article presents a summative evaluation of the Star Games, a participatory astronomy exhibit designed for public and school group visitors from age 13 to adult, developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science in California. The evaluation provides information about the effect of the exhibit on visitors and the attainment of its goal in education. It also provides information about the effect of Star Games on visitors of various ages and sexes. It is concluded that the exhibit experience should be an effective learning tool even if on a less comprehensive level, particularly at a science center with a large population of school groups such as Lawrence Hall.
