We are in the process of installing a brand new addition to the I Dig Dinos exhibit! A fun fact about our new resident is that it was the first vertebrate group to evolve flight capabilties! Talk about overachievers👏🏽. We are so excited to have this Pterosaur displayed at such an accessible height so children are able to explore the details of this fascinating prehistoric friend. We are so excited to offer this new element at The Children's Museum! 🦕🥼 #SaltLakeCity #UtahMuseums #ChildrensMuseum #MuseumExhibits

The incredible Robyn Oguinye from KSTU-TV FOX 13 News visited us to discuss how to best support literacy skills as school starts back up. We are passionate about making learning fun, so we were so excited to show the KSTU-TV FOX 13 News team around our galleries! Kathleen Bodenlos, CEO of The Children's Museum, spoke on the benefits of multi-sensory learning and how it can not only promote curiosity and discovery now, but can encourage students to start thinking about their future. We had so much fun with Robyn! Check out the full story to learn more about how Fox 13 is supporting the community through their "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign!📚

What an amazing opportunity for older students, especially as we head back to school. Getting students thinking about how to serve their communities through STEM skills is immensely important as we support tomorrow's leaders! ☀️

The 'low overhead myth' is a common misconception regarding the relationship between low overhead costs and the effectiveness of an organization. This standard among donors, and often nonprofit professionals, reduces the sector's ability to support and retain talent, making it, in fact, less effective. Kathleen Bodenlos, CEO of The Children's Museum, details the importance of developing a working environment that reflects how much the organization values each individual's contribution. We work hard to maintain a culture of professional support and development even in the face of harmful misconceptions.

Thank you Luca for contributing this piece to the museum! 🖼️💙 Visit the Art Studio to create your own masterpiece! Access to the Art Studio is included with admission! 🎨

We are beyond proud that The Children's Museum was among those honored by the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity as one of 100 Companies Championing Women! Attending today’s celebratory luncheon was an incredible experience, as we gathered with organizations all working toward the same goal: advancing women as employees, managers, and leaders. This amazing group is not only focused on the present but are also committed to making significant changes to ensure that future generations—our daughters and granddaughters—are set up for success. Thank you again for the incredible honor! We are proud to be in such a collaborative and uplifting state. 🐝 Learn more about the initiative as well as the other companies honored in the 2024 cohort here: https://lnkd.in/gFU348uv
