Museum of Science and Industry Facilitation

As a summer intern at the Museum of Science and Industry I was responsible for the daily delivery of many live programs that occurred on the Museum’s floors. I was trained on a variety of hands-on activities or live performances that were performed regularly for museum guests ranging in audience sizes from around 10 to 300. My work was vital for the success of the museum’s vision to inspire and motivate children to achieve their full potential in the fields of science, technology, medicine, and engineering.

There were a total of 7 live programs that I facilitated on a regular basis at the museum. Here is a list of the programs with brief summaries to better understand the scope of the work that I did.

Earth Revealed
- Up to 30 guests
- Utilizing a large projected view of the earth and various images/maps informational presentations were delivered that covered topics of greenhouse gas emissions, earthquakes, and the solar system
Happy Brrrthday!
- Up to 20 guests
- Explore the properties of liquid nitrogen live with museum guests as we setup a “birthday party” with the creation of ice cream, noise makers, and balloons using liquid nitrogen
Dissect and Eye at MSI
- Up to 25 guests
- Lead museum guests through a hands-on dissection of a cow eyeball to learn about the inner structures and functionality
Bangs, Flashes, and Fire
- Up to 300 guests
- A live chemistry show performed in the main rotunda of the museum which featured several demonstrations of big and loud combustion reactions
Poop Happens
- Up to 50 guests
- A play performance with audience interaction that covers the journey of food as it travels all the way through our digestive systems
MSI Hospital
- Up to 20 guests
- Help guests be medical professionals as they work to diagnose an unknown medical condition that is modeled by a realistic training human model
Floor Carts
- Up to 10 guests
- A set of mobile carts that focused on different topics were moved throughout the museum for pop-up style demonstrations. Topics included sound, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and magnetism.
