PLAYGROUND CASE STUDY — Planning a visit to the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center Playground this week? KOMPAN, the playground's designer, will be conducting a voluntary case study to learn more about how visitors use the space.
The study will be led by Dr. Suzanne Flannery Quinn, PhD, manager of the KOMPAN Play Institute, Americas. Dr. Quinn researches child development and how children and families interact with playgrounds, helping inform the design of engaging play environments for children of all abilities.
During the study, feedback will be gathered through brief surveys and observations. With parent or guardian permission, children may also be asked a few age-appropriate questions.
Participation is completely voluntary, and the information collected will help KOMPAN better understand what features make playgrounds engaging for families and children.
If you have a few minutes during your visit, we'd love for you to consider participating!
