Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences.

I don’t remember why I was perched on a table in art class, but I do remember the drama of leaping between this bully and his victim. At times, I’d get so mad about poverty, racism, sexism, or religious bigotry that I’d feel like punching someone. Without hesitating, I knew I had the power to stop the harassment. I’d had enough.

After jumping in, you swam across the short length of the hole (about 10 yards), and emerge, wet and freezing, only to get to race through temps in the teens to try to warm up in a lukewarm hot tub. My graduate school class at the Wisconsin School of Business raised more than $10k for the Wisconsin Special Olympics.

A couple months ago, I visited a Community Science Workshop for the first time in Watsonville, CA. The people were of all ages--moms with babies strapped to their fronts, six year-olds using skillsaws, pre-teens building robots, teenagers doing homework. At that time, we expanded to Watsonville , where strawberries come from.

At the same time, these diseases also, we believe, relate to the overall health and vitality and productivity of the community. If we can begin to build that at a local base, we can begin to create jobs that are associated with that new structure that we create. We do an adult cooking class, as well. It's free for adults.

A museum experience I’ll always remember: In 2002, I worked at the Boston Museum of Science with a program in which high school students from a nearby charter school spent half their school time at the museum. They took regular classes, museum-specific classes, and had internship-style museum jobs. Okay, I admit it.

More importantly, a local MBA allows for business leaders to engage with each other, establish personal and business relationships, and to build off each other’s experiences.

How much do we value brand awareness outside of local markets? Many museums run outreach programs at a variety of levels of local to global reach. For the same reason we do so with individual classes or constituency groups in the real museum. Do you feature lectures by non-locals in your educational programs?

Science is political, and science museums have a hard time grappling with that fact. And so my question is, why are we keeping them away?
