The Levine museum of the new south - Noah Carpenter - week 3


  Monday of week 3 I met up with Lindsey the school programs leader. She showed me the app they use to do self guided tours around the city so I did the tour which was really fun walking around the city. When I got back she had me go around the museum and look at parts of it that we can engage little kids with.

Tuesday

I was supposed to go to our bridge again but I couldn't sadly due to it being canceled so I worked on my final project 

Wednesday 

I met with someone named Keri and she does the observations of the museum and the content of it. She assigned me to walked around the museum and see what people would spend there time on and skip over. It was very interesting but boring because it was raining that day and not a lot of people came in. I did notice that a lot of people would find there self spending time in the Civil rights and black freedom parts of the museums 

Thursday 

Sadly Thursday was suppose to be another our bridge day that we couldn't do so I spent that day working on the final project which was coming up quite soon 

Friday

I did observation again on this day but unlike Wednesday it was very busy we had two different groups come in. I got a lot of information on what younger audiences spend there time on since both groups where younger kids. I noticed that they all liked to do the interactive touch pads a lot. They would also be around the LGTBQ+, Black freedom, and women's history the most

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...
