1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
The answer to that question may depend on what kind of Senior Topic one is dealing with. But as a whole, I believe that it is important that any consistently work on the Senior Project. It is important that one constantly sharpens their skills on their project so as not to dull or forget important points about it. Even if you aren't physically doing anything for the Senior project, merely thinking and reflecting about it during break can allow for better approaches when you start working again.
During break, I was working on my Senior Project at the California Science Center and Planes of Fame. I also used the break to reflect on my current progress so far to see if I am heading in the right direction.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned from what I've did is that in order to heighten the visitor's experience, you need to have a mix of the following considerations:
- Your knowledge about the contents of your museum.
- Your knowledge about similar contents being housed in other museums
- Your knowledge of other museums.
- Your appearance/presentation.
- How you approach a guest.
- How fast you can stereotype/size them up.
- Your tone of voice.
- Eye Contact.
- Body Language.
- Use of vocabulary.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
If I were to have a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for my EQ, I would ask Mr. Ed Maloney from Planes of Fame. Ed Maloney is the founder of Planes of Fame Air Museum, America's oldest independent air museum. He knows more about the museum industry than anyone I will ever encounter, and will probably give me better answers than anyone else I know.
