Week 1; Arizona Science Center

My first week of my internship at the Arizona Science center flew by too fast. It consisted of learning the basics of the building and meeting everyone within it. I spent the days going through the logistics of the science center and how each level of the building centered around a different theme and idea. It was amazing to get to know every inch of the building, including the underground area where all the brains work to help the magic upstairs run so smoothly. I was kind of embarrassed at myself at the end of the week because I never knew about the Arizona Science Center despite only living 30 minutes away. This insightful and informational science land was at the reach of my hand and I never visited. Now having spent time there and seeing all the center has to offer, I will be recommending and informing others of my new found knowledge.
My assignment for this week was to get to know the building like the back of my hand, to help me do this I went off on a scavenger hunt. This scavenger hunt was a packet that helped me find and get to know every aspect of every level of the center. As I explored the building I was met with smiles and greetings from the people that worked there. At my completion of the scavenger hunt, I realized how much behind the scenes action it took to create all the activities and exhibits that the Arizona Science Center had to offer.

MI FAMILIA

MI FAMILIA. As Sunday reaches its end, there's no longer workshops, reception tasks, tours, or any of the sort left. It surreal to not wake up with the sole purpose of going to the museum, a feeling I am going to miss. These last four weeks have opened my eyes to what surrounds me, taught me to seek more, to discover new assets in me, and has shown me to never conform to what I know; there's always room to grow. The team of MHAA has become my family and I can proudly say they are a part of the YAP family, which means that MHAA is part of of us, a part of you. I hope throughout the blogs, it has become clear how wonderful of a discovery this experience truly is, and it ended as great as it could ever be. During the week I researched Egyptian culture, gave tours to visitors, took the measures necessary to protect a painting (and I carried a giant bubble wrap through campus), and was in charge of handling and fixing the subtitles on an hour seminar, which would make the vid...

Successful Women in History- Final week in Atlanta

     The week has come to an end and so has the intership. This whole 5 weeks in Washington DC and Atlanta, Georgia has been quite a unique experience. It’s very dear and special to me. I can say I have been beyond blessed to meet all of the wonderful people and kids I have worked with during this past weeks. I’m glad my summer was like no other summer I lived. This one was very informative as well as educational.      This week was all about immigrants across the world to the United States. The kids and I learned that immigrants do not only come from Latin countries but also from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, etc. We read about many success stories of immigrant and undocumented families. For the kids to get a better understanding about immigration Mr. Andrew, the teacher, related it with the kids favorite foods! Such as hot dogs, pizza, french fries, donuts, tacos. These food had originated from Great Britain, Mexico, France, and United States. The kids...

Last Week at the Museum of Latin American Art

Last Week at the Museum of Latin American Art The last week at MOLAA was definitely a memorable culmination of the past three weeks of summer art camp. From the deinstallation of all the galleries at the museum, to the party for all summer art camp volunteers, and the installation of the art gallery "Undocumented Stories", this last week was was to remember. The first days were spent deinstalling all the galleries at the museum. This was a rather tedious job since I was given the task of removing the vinyl lettering placed on the walls of the exhibitions which provided background information on the artwork and pieces. This showed me the much thought that is put into the creation of exhibits and the message that is portrayed to the audience.  Additionally, I was also given the task of coordinating and creating a celebration party for the summer art camp volunteers who generously volunteered their time for three weeks. The party was Havanna themed which left me and...
