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

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...

Museum of History, Anthropology, and Art of the University of Puerto Rico - Andrea Mercado-Cruz, Week 1

  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. During the tour, she suggested I focus on four specific works ranging from paintings and wood prints to posters and artifacts. These four works will be the focus of the short paper I'm writing about the artistic representation of Puerto Rican nationalism and colonialism in the...

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...
