Investigating Where We Live

Investigating Where We Live (IWWL) is a summer outreach program at the National Building Museum, designed for students aged 12-16 from the D.C. metropolitan area. Participants learn to use creative writing and photography as a means of understanding and describing D.C. neighborhoods. At the end of the program, participants will share what they have learned by creating a public exhibition. In 2010, students will focus on the neighborhoods of Petworth, Southwest Waterfront, and Trinidad.

Southwest Gets Creative

Southwest worked hard today to pull together our exhibit. They put in a ton of effort, so we wanted to share some of the great projects they completed today.

Denae created a beautiful model of Southwest Rowhouses. Other group members helped her throughout the day. Here they are hard at work:

Denae and Sherve'

Denae works away

All finished!

Rachel and London worked on the map with our volunteer Josh:

For our interactive we pasted fun facts on crabs and rubber fish and put them in a crate to represent the fish market. Levi did most of the work on the interactive, here he is posing with it-

Imani made a model of the Southwest Waterfront Safeway. Josh, Keana, and Sherve helped her out. Here they are with their great model-

Sherve' made "pop art" with her photo of a duck-

Yay Southwest!!!

Great work today SW team! We are going to have a fabulous exhibit. I was so sad today was our last day, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that ALL 11 of you will be with us next Tues and Wed! Thanks for your dedication and hard work this far. I can tell that you are truly invested in our exhibit and that means a lot to me, Mary, and Josh.

PS- Jasmine, nice photo bomb! :)
