From Sarah, age 14

Today we focused on the design of our exhibit. The Take Home Design Challenge from the night before had been to list themes that are in our neighborhood. We used these themes today to brainstorm potential titles for each neihborhood group's part of the exhibit. We also spoke with a curator from the National Musuem of African American Culture and History, Paul Gardullo. He went to each group and talked to each of us about the design of our exhibit. After lunch each neighborhood group went to a different musuem and looked at the design of some exhibitions. We answered questions about the exhibits and then talked about them in our neighborhood groups. Our Take Home Design Challenge for today is to answer and list things about the museums we visited today.
