ABCD as foundation in Community Inquiry Labs at the public library
ABCD and Institutions (Universities, Hospitals, Government, Libraries, NGOs, etc.)
What a cool project! I did a little searching just now on the Community Inquiry Lab model, and it seems very interesting.
I wonder if using a Power Shield would be a good way to get your group visualizing the resources they have available for the inquiry process? Attached is the PDF version we used in a recent training, but there a dozens of ways to use this exercise.
I did a quick search, and it seems like there are two universities in Evansville? I feel like sometimes universities aren't very good at reaching out to community institutions, but often individual professors are interested in building those bridges if they know stuff is going on. So perhaps having some faculty who have interests in areas you'll be exploring in your lab, or who can be resources as you develop directions, might be a good asset to mobilize!
