Maybe think about activities you could support that would offer parents a place for their kids to go and learn, like a movie series, art classes, or a small-scale concert. As kids become teens, encourage them to volunteer with your organization. Could your teen volunteers help run the kids programs? Can’t think of any?

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. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? Teens are a known (and somewhat controllable) entity.

I've been spending time recently interviewing people who run unusual cultural and learning venues. One of my favorite places for a long time now. Machine Project is a non-profit storefront arts venue that hosts a dizzying array of eclectic classes, workshops, events, and occasional exhibits. Skill-sharing free schools.

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.

Let''s say you work at an organization that mostly caters to a middle and upper-class, white audience. Guards staring at black teens and grumbling about their clothes. In the summer, they spend 8 weeks working full-time at the Taylor Center learning and facilitating public programs. YES students defy expectations.

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.

I believe that we will soon see a class of web 2.0 With the rise of MySpace and Facebook , it will only be a matter of time before there are Facebook consultants who can develop and implement a comprehensive Facebook strategy for organizations and campaigns. I completely agree with Matt, its only a matter of time.

Any job with the word “coordinator” in it sounds like you might spend your time sorting socks into pairs. We are hiring for a School Programs Coordinator to wrangle the 3,500+ students and their teachers who come to the museum every year for a tour and hands-on experience in our art and history exhibitions.

For example, “Nazi science” came up several times as a “can’t”—but the Holocaust Museum’s Deadly Medicine exhibition was a successful project that didn’t bring the walls down. 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?

Outreach Let’s say you run your museum's education department, and you have two vans that go out to schools to do in-classroom programs exposing students to museum content. How important is it that some of the students at participating schools gain heightened awareness of the museum and physically show up one day?
