Are you ready to blast off? Take a trip to faraway planets? Or stay closer to the earth and check out farm life? This is my second summer in the externship program. The museum is the beginning of early STEM. Children are immersed in so many experiences. They can travel through the museum and several dramatic play areas. They offer early STEM activities for toddlers through messy play, simple coding, and ways to explore the world around them. Children learn through hands-on play and they get an opportunity to act in several STEM careers. The staff there is amazing and enjoy what they do. While there I could lead story times, Daily Discovery, and my favorite the planetarium shows. The planetarium shows were geared toward a younger crowd but had kids thinking about Outer Space. They also have a mobile planetarium that they bring to schools and programs. They have excellent outreach in the community and are always thinking of new ways to engage children and families. If you have a chance go and check them out! Thank You Children’s Museum of Idaho!
