Further Context:
I had the privilege of working for the last semester at the American Philosophical Society, the oldest learned society in the United States. My role was with the education programs team, where I developed an original curriculum on responsible generative AI usage through the lens of history. To do so, I utilized the APS’s vast History of Science collection, scaffolding my curriculum around a document on ethical communication from the collection of Warren McCulloch, one of the early scientists thinking about AI in the mid-20th century. In addition to developing this curriculum, I participated as a full member of the APS education programs team, attending meetings on days I was in-office and events such as research presentations and the April APS member meeting. I am so grateful for this
opportunity to explore and establish myself in the museum education field.
