October 2: Jennifer Pace Robinson, Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
Please welcome Jennifer Pace Robinson, Vice President of Experience Development and Family Learning, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
Founded in 1925, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences that have the power to transform the lives of children and families. With a 472,900 square-foot facility that sits on 29 acres, it is the largest children’s museum in the world.
Jennifer Pace Robinson will talk about the design and development process used at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis to create new experiences. Based on strong educational theories that promote social learning along with theater and show design techniques, the team at the Museum has been able to constantly develop exciting and dynamic experiences that transport children and families to new times and places. She will talk about early inspiration, how to foster ‘enchantment’ in children and the steps they take to create dramatic three dimensional exhibits and immersive programs to inspire and educate future generations.
Jennifer has worked in the field of museum experience development for over 25 years. As the Vice President of Experience Development and Family Learning at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis she currently oversees all aspects of exhibit development, design, production, program development, educational interpretation and collections care and use. She has created past exhibits about Ancient Egypt, Dinosaurs, Civil Rights, the Holocaust, Popular Culture, the Mercury Space Program and the Modern-day Space Program. She has served as an international consultant for the development of new family-focused museums in several countries including Egypt, China and the United Arab Emirates. Jennifer is a graduate of DePauw University and has a background in archaeology, art history and communication studies. She holds a master’s degree in education from Indiana University with a focus on curriculum and instruction and educational psychology.
