College of Arts and Sciences. Dept. of Museum Studies.This internship presentation summarizes an experience as the Center for Creative Connections Intern at the Dallas Museum of Art during Summer 2017. During this internship, an evaluation was done on the Pop-up Art Spot volunteers and visitors. It provided a chance to survey visitors, observe volunteers, and gather data revolving around the Pop-up Art Spot outside the Keir Collection exhibit in the Dallas Museum of Art. The main goals of this project were: to learn what activities are most engaging to visitors and had the highest participation, to learn about visitors who access and interact with the Pop-up Art Spot, to see if visitors learn anything new from the activities provided, and to obtain volunteer feedback. Through a series of indicators and benchmarks, this data was compiled into a report that informed changes to future Pop-up Art Spot activities.Item My Victorian adventure : transcribing 19th century letters at the Armstrong Browning Library.(2019-02-01) Mackenzie, Katherine A., 1993-; Hafertepe, Kenneth, 1955-; Museum Studies.; Baylor University. College of Arts and Sciences. Dept. of Museum Studies.In the summer of 2017, I completed an internship at the Armstrong Browning Library. My main project during my internship was to help with the Armstrong Browning Library's Victorian Letters Digitization Project. I was tasked with transcribing Victorian letters and preparing them for digitization so that they can be added to an online exhibit in the near future. This online exhibit is an exciting project, which will allow more people to have access to the Armstrong Browning Library's 19th century collection. Throughout my internship, I enjoyed learning the transcription process, the process of preparing letters for digitization, writing blogs, and gathering valuable cultural and historical knowledge about the Victorian era.Item Trace fossils to tinkering : summer at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.(2017-06-22) Miller, Sarah C., 1993-; Smith, Gary Neil.; Museum Studies.; Baylor University.; Baylor University. College of Arts and Sciences. Dept. of Museum Studies.During the summer of 2016, Sarah Miller worked as a Programs Intern at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History in Fort Worth, Texas. Throughout the summer, Miller had the opportunity to be a part of the programs team and helped each week with the planning of events and facilitation of activities on the museum floor. Miller facilitated activities in the museum's Maker Studio for two days a week where she led multi-disciplinary maker education programing for ages eight and up. Every Friday during the months of June and July, Miller assisted in a paleontology program called "Go Paleo." Miller also assisted in the planning and execution of large weekend events called "Reel Adventures," and "Science on Tap." When not working on events or programs, Miller worked on the museum gallery floor where she interacted with guests, asked questions, and taught science through demonstrations. Overall, Miller's experience helped her achieve her goals of becoming a better educational facilitator and work as a professional in a large museum.
