UCF student designing family activity guide as one Her Story internship project
Summary
An elementary education student at UCF said she is developing a family activity guide so children and families can engage with the History Center's exhibits year-round; speakers also said interns create small 'pocket exhibitions' as capstone projects.
An elementary education student at the University of Central Florida said she proposed a family activity guide to make exhibits more accessible and enduring. "Well, I'm an elementary education student at UCF, so I've always known that I wanted to be an educator ... a family and activity guide seemed like something that was missing," the student said.
Speakers said interns are encouraged to develop small, focused pocket exhibitions from start to finish as part of their projects, allowing them to research a niche topic and create an interpretive display. The student said the activities and guiding questions are designed to help families think critically about the women featured and to extend the exhibit experience beyond a single visit.
Program organizers said these kinds of deliverables — guides and pocket exhibits — are core outputs the internship seeks to produce, both for visitor engagement and for teaching materials in local classrooms.
