Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science will provide technology-focused professional development opportunities to museum educators, facilitators, and interpreters at museums throughout Florida. The Frost Museum of Science will collaborate with the Florida Museum of Natural History, Cox Science Center and Aquarium, and Miami Children’s Museum and Frost Science, both located in Miami, Florida, to form the Museum Education Tech Collaborative. Museum educators across these four institutions will take part in five full-day training opportunities spanning AI, extended reality, coding, 3D printing and modeling, and robotics. They will pilot the use of these emerging technologies in the learning experiences they design and facilitate at their respective institutions, and co-design a curriculum highlighting potential uses of these technologies in museums created for museum education professionals, by museum education professionals.
