IN THE KIDBIZ
HERSCHELL CARROUSEL
FACTORY MUSEUM
TO DEVELOP STEM
PROGRAMMING
The Herschell Carrousel Fac-
tory Museum has been selected to join
the STEM 2035 Cohort, a $5.5-million
initiative developed by the Ralph C.
Wilson, Jr. Foundation, through which
grant funding and technical assistance
will be provided to 17 existing after-
school and summer STEM (science,
technology, engineering and math) pro-
grams in Western New York and South-
east Michigan.
The Herschell Carrousel Factory
Museum will be using the funding to:
• Pilot a Summer STEM Camp
program with a strong focus on physical
science and engineering for disadvan-
taged youth in ages 11-15. The program
will utilize the carousel and amusement
industry to attract youth to develop an
interest in STEM. In 2020, the summer
camps will expand to school breaks.
• Present “Summer STEM Week-
ends” at the museum. This will allow
youth who cannot commit to a full week
summer camp to have an immersive,
directed STEM experience. In 2020, it
will expand to school holiday weekends.
• Expand outreach by continuing
their STEM partnership with the Buffalo
Public Schools “Saturday Academy”
program, and offering participants an
opportunity to visit the museum. Sec-
ondly, they will be developing partner-
ships with the North Tonawanda Youth
Center and other after school programs.
The PEAR Institute at Harvard,
a subject matter expert in afterschool
STEM programs, will provide technical
assistance, program assessments and
support for grantees in the STEM 2035
cohort.
The Herschell Carrousel Museum
is delighted to have the opportunity to
expand their educational outreach.
The museum hopes to continue build-
ing relationships within the community.
The Herschell Carrousel Museum will
be looking to hire an educator to fulfill
the requirements of the grant. More in-
formation on the position can be found
