Cooking classes have a broad appeal because they attract not just gourmet food, but also individuals who want to learn new skills. Virtual education is a great tool and can be used to teach a wide range of skills. Many people love to eat, but many of us aren’t as close to being culinary experts as we would like to be.

Like many people who've worked in science centers and interactive experience museums, I've always been perplexed by the fact that hands-on workshop audiences top out around age 14. They are more than just workshop spaces--they are member institutions, like museums. Isn't this one of our dreams for museums?

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out. I'm an artist and an institution builder. The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public.
