BOOK LAUNCH PARTY

BARRY JOSEPH
Monday, April 17th at 6:30-8pm
NYU Brooklyn 370 Jay St, 12th floor
RSVP HERE
Light Fare and Refreshments. Open to all!
Come meet author and digital experience designer Barry Joseph, whose latest book published by the American Alliance of Museums is called Making Dinosaurs Dance: A Toolkit for Digital Design in Museums.
Based on his half-dozen years at the American Museum of Natural History, this new guide takes its reader behind the scenes to learn how AMNH innovates visitor digital engagement, highlighting design techniques used both there and at museums around the world. Applying a Lean UX approach to museum design, the book introduces The Six Tools of Digital Design – user research, rapid prototyping, public piloting, iterative design, youth collaboration, and teaming up – then applies them through case studies across a range of topics.
Barry will share stories and case studies from the book, engage through interview with Eric Zimmerman, and turn the microphone over to NYU alums whose collaborative work is documented within the book. Oh, and sell/sign books (at a special launch-only discount)!
About Barry Joseph
Barry Joseph is founder of Barry Joseph Consulting, focused on innovating solutions for learning in a digital age. For a dozen years, at Global Kids (a NYC-based after school organization) then for six years at the American Museum of Natural History, Barry oversaw the strategy, design, and implementation of a slate of over 100 youth courses that applied the latest technology to engage youth to develop their skills and passions through youth media productions and design practices. He has also worked for over a decade with museums to innovate visitor-facing experiences through iterative design, with a particular focus on prototyping and evaluating cutting-edge visitor-facing experiences. Most recently, as VP of Digital Experience at the Girl Scouts of the USA, he used tools of user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX) to make complexity accessible, supporting the development of a seamless digital customer experience that increased retention and drove new membership. Along the way he has built many communities of practice still active today, like Games For Change and the Emoti-Con! Youth Media Fair, and launched many youth media projects and products. Barry has taught thousands of NYC youth, facilitated over a thousand hours of youth programming, and is currently teaching as an adjunct at New York University’s Learning Technology and Experience Design program. His first book, Seltzertopia, came out in 2018, and his latest book – on digital design in museums – was published by AAM in March 2023: Making Dinosaurs Dance: A Toolkit for Digital Design in Museums. He often writes about digital engagement on his blog Mooshme.org. Learn more at his website or on his blog.
