Braincake isn’t some fakey attempt to pander to teens. It reflects the GMSP’s—and Jen’s—commitment to creating a set of programs by and for its audience: teen girls. Jen and I sat down to talk about building for teens, working the web, and the role of innovation in museums. The content starts with the teen team.

At the big one, I worked on a small project with teens to design science exhibits for community centers in their own neighborhoods. Anna accepted my proposal. At the tiny science center, I got to do everything from leading programs to building exhibits to managing volunteers to cleaning snot off of plexiglass.

Last weekend I went to a great house party/fundraiser for Art in Action camp , a 10-day cultural boot camp for budding teen activists.
