The Manager of STEM Programs is responsible for the vision, planning, and implementation of a roster of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics educational programs, workshops, and experiences that support high-quality learning opportunities for children and families visiting Please Touch Museum. Included in this roster is oversight of the Albert M. Greenfield Makerspace and STEM-based learning experiences within the Museum’s exhibits. Please Touch Museum’s STEM and early-childhood educational programs are grounded in an inquiry-based, child-centered, investigation driven, and exploratory educational model that focuses on the process over the product and utilizes play-based learning principles.
Museum Learning staff creates and facilitates programs, coordinates events, and guides experiences that encourage families to discover, imagine, get curious, and learn through play. Our work contributes to unparalleled experiences for every visitor. Through our interactions with visitors, we embrace diversity and encourage our visitors to think differently and open their minds to the world around them. Museum Learning is committed to excellence in developing programs, events, and experiences to further Please Touch Museum as a leader in childhood learning and development. The Museum Learning department creates programming for routine daily visitors, special events, and school groups.
