Take Our Children to Work Day at the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
On May 24th, our Take Our Children to Work Day program held a career day at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Participants got a behind the scenes look at the Memorial and Museum where they had the opportunity to examine museum artifacts, learn how decisions are made regarding museum exhibits, understand the process of inscribing the names of those who were lost around the perimeter of the pools and see the plan and design of the museum. A highlight of the day was the opportunity to go underground, beneath the site, and tour the machinery that powers the memorial and the actual site of the museum construction. The Memorial staff shared their educational background with the participants and explained how their career path led them to the museum.
