Hello everyone!
Since my introduction, there has been a ton of development on what my actual topic will be. I have learned through my research and work on campus that I am really passionate about education and how the way we educate children at a young age can affect how they learn for the rest of their lives.
When I was a kid, my mom took my sister and me to probably every museum in NYC, and the ones that stick out to me still, as a senior in college, are the ones where we got to play, explore, imagine, and interact with the exhibitions and experiences. Her commitment to getting us out of the house and learning is the reason why my topic touches on how important incorporating museum visits is in a child's education.
Through writing my draft abstract and finding some sources, I have realized that my original research question is too broad, so I am working on narrowing and specifying my topic. Now that I know that I want my end goal to be a project/exhibit, some next steps would be exploring potential spaces.
See you next time!

Space and timing - consider making use of Rochester's Break Week in February, when lots of kiddos will be out of school and museum-ing :D
