The Florida Museum of Natural History at Gainesville, FL uses university students to help design exhibit components.  Your thesis sounds very interesting, I am trying to persuade our exhibits department head to recruit university design students.  However, they are college age, not youth.  Hope it helps.
 
 I'm a Museum Studies graduate student writing my thesis on exhibition design programs for youth in museums.  I only know of a few museums that are offereing programs of this nature presently.  If you know of any museums which are working with or allowing young people to use their facilities to design exhibits, please let me know as I would like to send them a survey regarding their program.

Thanks,

Alana Paratore
