Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, in partnership with the Association of Children’s Museums, will expand a professional development program to foster innovative exhibit design for museums catering to children and youth.  The project will conduct two versions of the program with 100 mid-career staff that work directly or indirectly with exhibits to spark local, community-responsive innovation through curated creative experiences.  Training activities will include in-person gatherings, virtual learning, mentorships, and the creation of action plans and prototypes by participants.  The project will re-invigorate the museum workforce through a creative approach to teaching innovative exhibit design that will generate novel experiences for museum visitors.
