The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
-Mark Van Doren
Each summer the Public Programs staff supervises a team of University of Florida undergraduates majoring in math and science and minoring in education. These students and future educators bring a fresh perspective to the world of informal education as they assist in creating dynamic programming alongside museum staff. This page features their recommendations, discoveries, reviews, observations, and more! Edited and curated by Chelsea Collison, Museum Educator.
