So finally arrived to the beautiful sunny skies of Miami - so here's some of the excellent work we've been seen already!
Day 1
Introduced to the Miami Science Museum's Entrepeneurship Career Day with Grade 10- 12's. This programme is an excellent role modelling programme that shows kids how to dream big and have heart in accomplishing all they can by hard work, study and a passion for a career in business, science or technology. So to quote the Miami Science Museum Education Team " The Anatomy of an Entrepeneur is KNOWLEDGE - PASSION - FIRE." Kids are taken through a programme where they have a first hand talk by a science specialist in business, an inspirational video on business development (See www.TED.com and William Kamkwamba - Amazing!) and then kids have to develop their own business plans with their own ideas. During this time kids are also taken through the Science Museum to interact with the exhibits and team!The KZNScienCentre will be looking at introducing this programme as soon as I am back!
Day 2
Awesome squid dissections with elementary school learners funded by the Miami Education Department - Calamari Anyone ;-)
We also had the priveledge to meet with the Dean of Education and The President of the University of Miami as well as Professor Mike Gaines who is involved in multiple informal and formal learning interventions. Lots and lots of meetings - looking forward to all the collaborations!
Goodnight for now after an amazing and fulfilling 2 days - www.willitbeyou.com!
