Run your own visitor study this summer. Yes, really.

The *Guided Visitor Study Program* is a new 12-week program (*June 9 to
August 25*) from TM Visitor Studies <https://tmvisitorstudies.com/>,
designed for museums, parks, aquaria, and science centres ready to make it
happen without a big budget or a research team.

*This program is for you if:*
• You've wanted to do a visitor study but weren't sure where to start
• You have a summer student or staff member looking for a unique (and
useful) professional development opportunity
• You're comfortable with the basics of Excel (or are willing to learn)
• You want to finish and present your study results

*What's included:*
• 5 live Zoom lessons covering planning, data collection, analysis, and
reporting
• 3 group meetings to share progress with fellow participants
• 4 one-on-one meetings to discuss your specific project
• Approx. 40-70 hours of structured independent work: study planning in
June, data collection through July, analysis and write-up in August

Studies are intentionally small-scale and manageable within a summer
timeline. Participants who want to continue beyond the program are welcome;
the final report simply becomes an interim report.

*Cost (CAD):*
• $475 / participant
• $850 / two participants from the same organization
• A limited number of further discounted spots are available for
organizations with lower budgets. Email tara at tmvisitorstudies.com to ask
about this option.

This is a pilot cohort and space is limited. *Registration closes May 29.*
