The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History is currently recruiting DC-area high school students for the 4th year of the Youth Engagement through Science (YES) program. Application deadline is March 29.
YES is a 6-week summer and 10-week fall internship that presents a unique opportunity to connect local teens with Smithsonian collections, experts, technologies, and training to inspire them to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. An important priority for YES is to provide these opportunities for students from populations underrepresented in science careers, who also act as ambassadors to their communities, sharing what they learn through community outreach projects. The program also provides tools and resources that help participants to prepare for college applications and attendance.The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History is currently recruiting DC-area high school students for the 4th year of the Youth Engagement through Science (YES) program.

Julia Child’s first TV show, "The French Chef," debuted fifty years ago, early in 1963. At the end of her career, Child donated the contents of her home kitchen to the Smithsonian, where it was exactly reconstructed. A website gives panoramic views of the room and detailed descriptions of its many utensils and gadgets. The site emphasizes Child’s view of herself as a teacher and a “lifelong learner” who came late to her skills. Her husband married her, she said, “despite” her cooking.

Students can earn “digital badges” by participating in a Women’s History Month online conference on Wednesday, March 13. In the conference, students examine a portrait of an early American women’s-rights advocate. One way to earn a badge is by becoming a “portrait reader.”

March is Women’s History Month. A new National Portrait Gallery exhibition, “A Will of Their Own,” adds up to a group portrait of influential women in the earliest days of the republic, from Abigail Adams to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. The focus is on a less-known figure, Judith Sargent Murray, a poet and essayist who published “On the Equality of the Sexes” in 1790.

This year marks the centennial of the two most famous events in the history of modernism. In May 1913, Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” made its debut in Paris and set off a brawl in the theater among normally nonviolent ballet patrons. Meanwhile, Americans had just gotten their first look at the work of artists like Picasso, Braque, Matisse, and Duchamp in a massive exhibition that opened in February 1913 in the drill hall of a regiment armory in New York.
The Smithsonian’s Archive of American Art commemorates the exhibition with a new website, “1913 Armory Show: The Story in Primary Sources.” As with the ballet, many were upset by what they were witnessing. Others, more surprisingly, liked it. Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it “bully.”

In the world of the Purim story, the Persian King Ahasuerus gives a feast to show off “all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom.” Bits of that world are similarly on display in “Feast Your Eyes: A Taste for Luxury in Ancient Iran,” an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Sackler Gallery. Beginning March 9, the Sackler exhibits the Cyrus Cylinde, a cuneiform text in which Persia’s Cyrus the Great, called a “shepherd of God” in the Bible, grants religious freedom to subjects.

Hi,
Anyone aware of a subscription service (fee or fee-based) that provides an online Science curriculum/assessment tool for MS (Grades 7/8) --specifically interested in Life Sciences (genetics) and earth sciences (rock cycle)--- that would serve as kind of a supplemental or integrated "IXL" type curriculum for science? Thanks in advance for any thought anyone might have on this.- Feb 22, 2013
