New Maker Annex and More at Returning Maker Corps Host Site Children’s Museum of Houston

By Cheryl McCallum, Director of Education, Children’s Museum of Houston

For Summer 2014, three Maker Corps Members will help the Children’s Museum of Houston kick off their new Maker Annex this summer, developing new activities and implementing them with visitors to the Invention Convention exhibit.

Our Corps Members will also work with students in the Museum’s Community Science Workshop at Edison Middle School and work with the Museum’s educators to develop solutions for new activities in various exhibits. See what our Corps Members from last year did by viewing their tumblr site.

Maker Ed is thrilled to have CM Houston returning as a Host Site. We encourage you to check out their Maker Corps blog to see the kinds of creative freedom and program development that our Corps Members enjoyed last summer. The Children’s Museum of Houston provides a great environment that strongly supports Corps Members to grow, experiment, collaborate, and contribute. Apply now and be a part of the new team in 2014! – Steve
