In early February, the spring interns brainstormed what kind of project we wanted to create during our time here. We asked ourselves a few crucial questions to kickstart the creative process: What do we think people need to know? What would be fun and educational for kids? What would make our project stand out from all the great ones that came before?
We decided on an interactive map that highlights kid-friendly, educational museums and activities that families can visit during day trips to Boston! Each downtown “Unfurled” location meets three requirements: it is educational, interesting for young children, and hands-on (meaning the kids can play with the exhibits and installations during their visit).
The Beantown Unfurled team is:
Mackenzie Bright, Marketing Intern
Eileen Moynihan, Marketing Intern
Beatrice Mutasah, Art/Animation Intern
Amber Orozco, Art/Animation Intern
Emma Paquette, Production Intern
You can learn more about this semester’s interns in our last InternVision post, “Meet the MiniVisionaries: Spring 2019 Interns.” And of course, big thanks to our supervisors, Monica Chen, Michael Fogarasi, Sarah Ditkoff, and Hannah O’Neal for their guidance and support.
