The Levine museum of the new south - Noah Carpenter - week 2

 



On Monday of week 2 I joined a staff meeting call. I got to meet all the staff members and what they all do for the museum. I got to see how a staff meeting is run and it was interesting how meetings are held it was very informal which I enjoyed

Tuesday 

On Tuesday I was supposed to go to our bridge for kids but sadly something got messed up and I couldn't. What our bridge for kids does is they help immigrate kids learn but different activity's and taking them in field trips which is really awesome. I was sad that we could not have done it 

Wednesday 

On Wednesday I was asked to make a family day assignment for one of there themes. What their family days are is they do a community event on the day of the day, Martin Luther day, women's history, and etc. So I thought they could do a Collage painting with different canvases on famous figures and they liked the idea and have been trying to start that idea.

Thursday 

On Thursday I was suppose to be at our bridge for kids but since it was canceled I was remote that day and worked more on the final assignment and looking at there social media and other museums social media to see what they were doing.

Friday

On Friday I met with someone called Lindsey and she does the schools program. She showed me there website and the world sheets on the website for classes teachers could teach. I did two of them and gave her feedback on them and then we planned on meeting together next week at the museum

Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science - Angeline Alvarez, week 3

 Yesterday marked the end of my third week. I have no words to describe how awesome this week was. For the first time, I was exposed constantly to something that I am very passionate about: nature and animals. To explain what I did this week, I will explain the layout of the museum and the tasks that I did/helped. At the Frost Museum, we have five floors, each floor has a different exhibits and animals. This week I will focus on the animal side.  5th Floor We have the WetLab, which is a research room, where we grow corals and test the conditions of every tank in the museum. In here I spent some time helping Natalia feed the Pilar Corals, which are extinct in the wild.  4th Floor  On this floor we can find "The Vista", which is a combination of various marine habitats. We have an aviary, which focuses on the beach and mangrove habitats with different fish like tarpon, and birds like spoonbills. There is also a Stingray touch exhibit and the Gulf Stream exhibit, in whe...

  Week #1 - Internship Blog Museum of History, Anthropology, and Art of the University of Puerto Rico by Andrea Mercado-Cruz (YAP 2024) This was my first week working at the Museo de Historia, Antropología y Arte (Museo UPRRP) in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico! So far, it has been a fantastic experience, allowing me to engage in various activities at the museum and see the behind-the-scenes of museum operations. To begin with, I had the opportunity to research different artworks in the museum's exhibit, "24 años de donaciones al museo." On Monday, my lovely supervisor, Lisa, gave me a tour and explained the history behind some of the pieces, enhancing my knowledge of Puerto Rican history and culture.

El Paso Museum of History -Jimena Huante -Week 3

This past week has been incredibly eventful, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the diverse range of community events. The week kicked off with the dynamic Beat Builders DJ summer camp, where the campers delved into the art of DJing against the backdrop of our Musica sin Fronteras exhibit. I had the privilege of preparing for the campers' arrival and being fully immersed in the camp's activities throughout its duration. The highlight for many was the presence of the renowned DJ Johnny Kage, a familiar face in El Paso's DJ scene. His expertise and amiable personality left a lasting impression on all of us. It was fascinating to hear about his journey, which began at the young age of 15 in Ciudad Juarez, where he honed his skills using records cassettes and CDs. The camp also provided an opportunity to explore the origins of House, Techno, and Disco music, shedding light on their historical significance. The week also included an exclusive preview of La Nube...
