12 Month Plan

My 12 Month Plan for the museum is organized into five main initiatives: organization, outreach, public programming, education, and exhibition development.

Throughout my tenure, I will organize, catalogue, and conserve the collection as it continues to grow with new donations. My plan for outreach begins with the museum’s immediate community and expands outward, utilizing our digital resources and increasing our online presence. So far I have updated the museum’s website, created a virtual tour of the current exhibitions, and created this blog to document my work as director. The cornerstone of my public programming initiative is Decoding the Past: Conversations with PC Innovators, a conversational speaker series with key players in the personal computer revolution. I hosted the first engagement last week, and we’re preparing for the next event later this Fall. For my education initiative, I will develop resources for students and educators engage with the museum, starting with an upper elementary investigation-based curriculum guide to use as a model for future expansion, using digital resources to lay the groundwork for in-person engagement. Finally, I am in the very early stages of planning a new exhibition, drawing upon the permanent collection for inspiration.

Overall, my plan is guided by the museum’s mission to “inspire creativity and innovation for all ages through engagement with technology.”
