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

Museum of Science & Industry - Thalia Estrada, Week 4

Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago Internship Thalia Estrada     Hey everyone! :)  It is hard to believe that four weeks have easily gone by. I got to build wonderful relationships with the staff in the MSI educational team and I also got to know the overall museum—with its many exhibits—  on a deeper level. This is what I did on my final week: This is how the museum looks from the outside. It is absolutely stunning.           To begin with the week, I got to the museum early because the office does team huddles on Monday mornings. In these huddles, the educational team speaks with the vice president and education and chief learning and community officer, Dr. Jessica Chavez. A calendar is projected onto TV where the team then discusses their latest projects and keeps the education department up to date with any events that are coming up in the week. This is also a great time for the team to ask for assistance, or make everyone a...

National Museum of Mexican Art - Citlalli Alaniz, Week 1

 Week 1 (July 1-July 7)  Hi everyone! My internship started last week and I am an educational intern at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, helping with the ImaginARTE Summer Camp which is for children ages 7-12. Since summer camp started in late June, I quickly jumped in ready to help and get to know all the children. My first week consisted of 3 summer camp days and my story time session in that weekend.  Summer camp quickly became accustomed to seeing me and receiving help distributing supplies, helping them, and supervising them during recess time. The summer camp's theme is based on making individual mini-museums to showcase the different aspects and components of museums. Each week focuses on a different component, my first week's theme was all about making sculptures and creating condition reports for the children's museum. The week concluded with the children making their sculptures and them being added to a sculpture garden that was previously made. ...

Arte Americas - Mateo De Anda, Week 2/3

Last week I had a slow start with lots of research and planning. Towards the end of last week we in the programs department received a brief course on managing a classroom space, including setting up the environment, creating classroom norms and expectations and how to present to kids while maintaining their attention and interest. We also covered, more specifically, how that is accomplished reading a book. This week I got to put theory and planning to practice. Saturday, Arte Americas hosted another Bilingual Story-time event. While the reading went on, I observed the suggestions that we had learned in the training being applied effectively. Besides the usual set up process of the reading and activity spaces, this week there was also a projected video between spots that I helped with. I believe after what I learned this week I'm more than ready to host my own Storytime.  Sunday, I returned to my research. I spent most of the day contacting other organizations in the area and devel...
