Support family programs at the museum to encourage visitors to the museum, while providing a fun learning experience for multigenerational families. The keynote event of the weekly family program is the weekly, year-round Discovery Saturday initiative that offers a free craft activity, learning opportunities, scavenger hunts and access to hands-on educational artifacts based around a monthly changing theme, such as the animals of Nevada, fossils and dinosaurs and Nevada state symbols.
Project / Role specific activities:
- To welcome families to the program and make them familiar with what is on offer in terms of activities, crafts and educational artifacts.
- To assist children in making crafts as appropriate.
- To provide information to the public about the hands-on educational artifacts that are part of the Saturday program - these change on a monthly basis and are an integral part of the STEM offering.
