Childrens Museum Of The Lowcountry Applies Lessons From Immersive Workshop To Daily Operations
The Childrens Museum of the Lowcountry invites exploration and inspiration through play for families of all backgrounds. When the museums own team members had the chance to look at their strategy through a gamified two-day trainingto get inspired through playthey learned fresh ways to best engage their community.
When Simone Davis thinks about her role as a development associate at the Childrens Museum of the Lowcountry in Charleston, South Carolina, one statistic comes to mind: Charlestons population grows by about 38 new residents every day, a number that includes 10 newborn babies.
Since our mission is to focus on children that are birth to 10 years old, I feel like we have to keep up with the best practices and what would be good for those people, Davis said. The world is ever changing, ever evolving, and ever adaptingand we have to hone in on the needs of society.
The museum invites children of all backgrounds to explore, ignite curiosity, and spark imagination through the power of play. Davis and her colleague, development associate Kayla Sewell, play a critical role in developing donor and member relationships and coordinating programs that help to achieve that mission.
