The Discovery Room is an interactive exhibit area designed for young children and their families. The space offers opportunities for hands-on learning and early childhood development through connection with our natural world. The Discovery Room intern will facilitate hands-on, positive, natural science learning experiences for visitors of all ages using best early childhood and nonformal environmental education practices.
Fall interns may also have the opportunity to assist Discovery Fun programs - scheduled class programs for Pre-K through 1st grade on Tuesday-Thursday mornings.
By the end of their experience, the intern will design a project that aligns with the Discovery Room mission of connecting young children to nature.
