QUESTION THREE What activities would you or your
family participate in, if available at the Grand Island
Children’s Museum? Select up to four.

Analysis

Question 3 of the study focused on types of programming that the community
would support. Over 80% of the respondents selected STEAM-based programming
and day visits as the predominant program motivators for attendance. Coupled
with what is revealed by the 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment, there
appears to be an opportunity to explore science and health in a children’s
museum setting that could possibly serve as one approach to addressing health
illiteracy and childhood obesity rates in the community.

The lowest rated potential programming included guided tours of exhibitions and
multicultural events, indicating that community respondents do not view those
programming efforts as the most important components of a children’s museum.

Respondents to the Spanish survey were few, however, their responses to
Question 3 differed from the English survey in that the respondents did see the
importance of a children’s museum as including a place for multicultural events.
