Engaging Children in the Excitement and Rewards of STEAM

Few children have the opportunity to experience the processes of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) in a hands-on way that emphasizes open-ended discovery and experimentation. They may not have access to tools or technology, or have the support of adults or the formal education environment. Through recent initiatives, and our long history as an institution that has exposed children to science, we know children can get excited about STEAM subjects when given the opportunity.

Since 2014, Boston Children’s Museum has launched several initiatives to deliver hands-on STEAM learning and discovery experiences for our visitors. These include a Maker Workshop Pilot, organizing and hosting three Boston Mini Maker Faire events, partnering with Einstein’s Workshop to offer paid hands-on STEAM work- shops, launching our Tech Kitchen program that provides interaction with local tech innovators and their products, and creating a new STEAM workshop space where we conduct hands-on, minds-on programming. These initiatives complement existing Museum exhibits in the sciences such as Investigate, Bubbles, and Raceways.

1 STEAM Discovery Continuum

Boston Children’s Museum’s vision for STEAM learning is a developmental continuum that spans ages, tools, challenges, and skills. Core to the experience is a multisensory environment —where the child leads but is supported by parents, caregivers, and Museum staff—that offers different paths of open-ended discovery. The opportunities for creative expression are facil- Younger Age Older itated using both low-tech and high-tech tools to complete projects or challenges, but the central driver of the vision is the importance of rich interactions with other children, parents, Simple Tools Complex Museum staff, and academic and corporate experts to create a collaborative, creative STEAM learning environment.

Boston Children’s Museum’s STEAM 2.0 initiative extends the Museum’s current STEAM platform by expanding the space, technology, and staff dedicated to STEAM. The most critical component of the initiative has been the investment in dedicated staff, including a new STEAM director. Key elements of the initiative are foreseen to be a dedicated STEAM studio; new technology and materials; special events, including an annual Boston Maker Faire; instructor-led, computer-based workshops on topics such as stop-motion animation and Lego robotics; instructor-supported programming in cross-discipline subject matter such as music, art, design, photography, chemistry, and robotics; and Tech Kitchen, a prototype studio for local technology companies to show new products, receive feedback, and share expertise with visitors.

10 11 Dear Friends,

Chairman & President’s Message We have been gifted with another successful year of joyful discovery for children and families, and we are proud that this great Museum continues to perform robustly and be a strong advocate for children.

In 2018, we welcomed over 550,000 visitors to the Museum, and we reached many thousands more in Massachusetts and around the globe through our traveling exhibits, teacher kits, Beyond the Chalkboard program, and design and consulting services. We have expanded the age range of children reached through a new initiative on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) comprising a new STEAM studio space, management, staff, and programming.

Equally important, during this increasingly divisive period, the Boston Children’s Museum remains steadfast in advocating for the well-being of children and families everywhere—regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic status. It is critical that we speak up on behalf of those who are vulnerable, and we encourage you to join us in this important pursuit.

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” —Angela Schwindt

We continue to lead in early childhood development, and we also learn from children through our many interactions. So, we have taken a page from their playbook and focused on two themes that stand apart from the rest. First, children experiment—a lot! They dig in the dirt and contemplate the reflection of the clouds in rain puddles. Second, they are creative: Where adults see an empty cardboard box, they see a rocket ship for launching to explore faraway places. Following this spirit, we have begun implementing a cultural shift toward experimentation and creativity by dedicating a subset of our time, space, and budget to experimenting across all facets of the Museum—be it exhibit development, program design, or visitor experience. Among numerous initiatives, is the Napkin Proposal program, where any staff member can submit suggestions regardless of their department, so that ideas are free-flowing and open to all, and management then finds resources to test and bring these ideas to reality.

As we celebrate our rich history and strong foundational capabilities, we are also embracing the future and expanding our reach beyond the Museum walls through BCM NEXT, an initiative to identify next-generation solutions that reach more children and families with innovative programs, exhibits, and learning resources. The first step in expanding our reach was the Boston Mini Maker Faire, which encourages children to practice their creativity in both the physical world and technological realm. Furthermore, we have successfully qualified for grants and sponsorships to forge ahead on reaching children through collaboration with local libraries, augmented reality innovations, and in many other ways. You will notice that we have refreshed our logo to better reflect our mission as we expand our reach to serve many more children and families. These are exciting times at the Museum and we will keep you posted as we make progress on multiple fronts and build a sustainable future.

There are more than a billion children on our planet, and each one, regardless of economic or geographic situation, should have the opportunity to learn, explore, and connect with their world. Accomplishing our mission of joyful discovery for children and families would not be possible without the ongoing commitment of our staff, management, board, donors, and community partners. We thank you for being a part of our rich history, vibrant present, and bright future!
