HistoryMiami Maria L.





Hello compañeros,

    This is  been my first experience as an intern, and it is going super good! It is been a challenge to be four hours away from home, and adapting to such a gigantic and vibrant city, Miami - The traffic here is something else hahah- Doing this intership in another city, it's been giving me a very  broad experience, because I am not learning just about museums, I am learning by first hand  about other cultures (Hatian & Cuban), and I am also learning how to get alone in such a hard, diverse, and truly diverse city!
   I will like to show you not just about my experience in the museum as an intern, but also of my experience being a 17 years old, getting into the heart of an unknown city, which is also one of the biggest in the nation, and how all this experiences together will not just make me grow in a professional way, but in a personal way as well.  Although I am happy I had my mother and brother with me this week, they will go back to Tampa tomorrow, and I will be by myself. Not, I will not be by myself at all, I'm grateful another yapper is doing his intership in the Sunshine State as well. Yey, I'm not alone at all, our friend Daniel lives in the city and that makes me happy, because I feel we will be able to build a very good friendship.
  Aside from all the adventures  of being in another city, I will tell you what I have been doing for this week in the HistoryMiami Museum! This week I have mainly shadowed all the educators and the guides of the museums, the archive's manager, the education managers, and the arts, manager.  I will mainly be learning the ins and outs of a museum, like swing the projects and events go from scratchs to an actual final event or exhibition.

I will post pictures with details and quick facts later on my next publication!

Besos y abrazos, cuídense mucho y espero que puedan aprender lecciones valiosas. Los aprecio mucho, con amor

Jesus Lino - Week 4

Hello everyone, This week was the last week of MOLAA’s Summer Art and Culture Camp. I spent this week mainly focusing on the camp once again. I interacted with the kids who attended this last week of camp as well as the counselors, the student volunteers who assist with the camp. Like the other two weeks, my main assignment this week was to prepare for the camp’s open house by assisting teachers with anything they needed for the open house, creating the certificates, and preparing the slide show. This week, I also had my community outreach activity at the Central Public Library in downtown Los Angeles. Although reading to kids was a new experience for me, I really enjoyed being able to facilitate an activity for little kids. At first, I thought that I was going to struggle with engaging with the kids. However, thanks to my experience with MOLAA, working with kids was pretty easy. I enjoyed doing the community outreach activity and hope to do one again in the future. My experienc...

Rocio Chavez: ¡explora! - Blog # 4

¡Hola a Todos! The fourth week of my internship with Explora was busy, but very fun. I had the opportunity to get to know to the staff and volunteers better. I continued to give group tours and doing prep. I also helped in the summer camp called “Chemistry in the Kitchen”. Although I was always busy with something, I felt comfortable in the working environment that Explora offers. The tour groups, as usual, went great. It’s amazing how I’m still learning from all the museum floor areas and exhibits. Children are the teachers at Explora, they are the ones that “think outside box’. Every time I asked them what they were doing, they responded with something that I would’ve never imagined could be done at that exhibit. The number one rule at Explora is to “touch and experiment everything”. “Chemistry in the Kitchen” was for children from grades 2-3. Here they learned about the different ingredients that make dough raise, the types of fats for cooking, and how to distinguish heal...
