TBH Week #3

Hey guys,
This week the kids from the summer program learned a new song and are getting better at their acting  skills, although some already had the talent. I have met new kids and on the very first day they were laughing and having a great time and not being shy. Today we went to the Miller Outdoor Theater and saw a production about Santa Clause and his adventures. All the kids were confused because they were saying Merry Christmas in the middle of July. I got to see them run and roll down a hill and act crazy. I love being around them and every day I receive hugs from a lot of them and we get to talk and play. Here are some pictures of the field trip and things we did over the week.

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...

The Young Engineers and their Missing Gloves and Goggles (Blog 2) - Adriana Millan

Michael hands to yourself! Guys, get in a straight line! Safety first, remember to wear your gloves and goggles. You’re not wearing gloves, where are your gloves? Someone get the frisbee, okay, I’ll get the frisbee. Chaka! Claudia! Someone? Curator Kids Club was my permanent stop. Within this program kids from the 6th to 8th grade are able to explore this year's theme, Engineering. For the duration of three weeks, those selected will face challenges and projects that incorporate the key theme Engineering. With the assistance of Rosemary (program coordinator), Chaka (teacher), Elanine (teacher), Cindy (teacher’s aide), Claudia (teacher’s aide), Anthony (volunteer), and Adriana (the best volunteer in the world) and the use of tools and materials provided, they will build four key projects - a bridge, a mechanical claw, a remote control car, and the final task of constructing an arcade game to present in the California Science Center.

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...
