Watermen's Museum

Wow!!! What a week, for those who did not know I have taken an internship with the Watermen’s Museum under Michael Steen and David Niebuhr as an Education Specialist.  This week has been a great experience for me as I help this small museum that has a big focus on outreach.  I helped in simple tasks like cleaning up around the boatbuilding shop but also with the direct outreach of school kids, with everything from biodiversity catches on short cruises of the Schooner Alliance based out of Yorktown, Virginia as well as playing Jamestown “Survivor Island” with another group.  Teaching is of course the best way to learn, as you must understand the subject well enough to explain it in a coherent manner to someone else, and I have learned so much this week!  I invite everyone who hasn’t seen the museum to come down for our next Folk Jam or stop by during the week!  I look forward to learning and working more next week, and hope to see both old and new friends over the coming months J
