National Children's Museum

The National Children's Museum will conduct a professional development project for staff on facilitating Maker programs for children. The project team will collaborate with experts from the Scott Family Amazeum, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and the Bakken Museum on effective and innovative approaches to facilitating high-quality Maker programs. Project activities will include conducting observational site visits, creating a curriculum to train current staff and onboard new staff, and developing and implementing an evaluation framework.  The project will build a collaborative community of practice that will improve the quality of the museum experience and outreach activities offered to diverse community audiences.
