Business Partner Challenge #1:
How can the Tri-Cities Historical Museum be more engaging?
Our experience . . .
"Working with a group of students who had never met before and watching them learn how to problem solve a real-world problem together as a team could possibly be one of the highlights of my summer. By the end of our two weeks together, these students had formed connections with the amazing staff at The Tri-Cities Museum, learned about website design, presented their amazing ideas to their stakeholders, and became friends with each other along the way!" ~ J. Gutierrez, Educator

How can we make our Family Explorer Bags more exciting, engaging, and immersive?
Our experience . . .
"This was a very enlightening experience that taught me how to better work with a group and how a business operates. It also never failed to be fun and was something that I looked forward to after a long, boring school day." ~ Hannah, HS Student
"I've been in this program for three years. Year after year I come back to be part of a team, learn how businesses operate, and obsess over Gushers." ~ Megan, HS Student

Business Partner Challenge #3:
How can we create an update "hands on" experience for all ages?
Our experience . . .
"I liked how we all help each other and no one has been slacking on the job and everyone is communicating well." ~ Arianna, HS Student
"Our solution is multi-faceted, so it has more depth to it and may take more time to nail down." ~ Stephanie Szostkowski, Educator
"Incorporating play personalities really brought home the idea of full inclusion, beginning with the whole person rather than only considering a person's physical abilities." ~ Elisa Hopper, Development Director for Tri-Cities Historical Museum
