Project: Research and develop reference materials and teaching tools for volunteers staffing the Collectors’ Corner Neighborhood Trading Post, a pilot project of the Science Museum of Minnesota partnering with libraries.
Presentation: Volunteers work with young people coming to the program to trade items from nature for points, based on trader knowledge and type of object. Eric Harkleroad, CCNTP summer intern and U of Minnesota graduate student, is creating materials for volunteers focusing on the most commonly traded natural items. Materials developed include laminated question cards, riker boxes of labeled object samples, and topical e-mails and handouts which are being evaluated by the volunteer facilitators and the CCNTP team:
