Week Something or Another

Hey all! Not much to report this week, just working away at my anatomy table and helping visitors enjoy the museum. I've been brainstorming ideas for my project and am thinking about making short video segments on how to present the table to different age groups and highlight some of the differences that presenters might encounter.

One cool experience that I had this week was with a visitor who was heavily impaired with her mobility and could barely hear. I was able to show her the anatomy table, and because sign language is my foreign language I could talk her through most of my presentation which was really cool! Because of her disabilities she wasn't able to participate in most of the exhibits at the museum, but she was really happy because of the anatomy table and one other exhibit that I was able to help her with (where you literally "wear" the human body as a vest). She and her nurse (at least I think that's who she was) were so happy that they wrote an email to the WITTY about their experience. So cool that I was able to help her enjoy the museum :)

--I attached some pictures for you all to enjoy, have a great four more weeks!
