The Children's Museum of Indianapolis will design and install "Malala's World" as a new component of its permanent exhibition, "The Power of Children: Making a Difference." The project team will create Malala's home as an immersive experience to tell the story of Malala Yousafzai, a young girl from Pakistan who advocated for education and equality under the threat of the Taliban. The exhibit space will also include first-person theatrical performances, third person theatrical room tours, sound and video shows, and activity area experiences. The museum will conduct formative evaluation to facilitate adjustments and redesign as the exhibit is being created, followed by summative evaluation activities to measure visitor impacts. The museum will develop a unit of study on the exhibit for grades 6-9 based on Indiana and national academic standards for social studies and language arts.
