Whenever we're feeling a little overwhelmed, we just scroll through Port Discovery Children's Museum feed and see the kids having fun in exhibition spaces we've designed. It's a great form of vicarious play! 😍
What does the future of education look like? It starts with giving future educators the opportunity to learn through experience, connection, and play. 💙
This summer, we partnered with Towson University’s College of Education to welcome students into our first Summer Fellow Program, providing hands-on experience in an informal learning environment centered on playful learning.
Throughout their 10-week fellowship, future educators, Kennedi Harris'28 and Chelsey McKee ’28, are exploring how children learn through play, supporting programs, and connecting with children and families throughout the museum.
As fellow Kennedi Harris shared:
“I’m gaining so much experience here in terms of interacting with young learners and their families. Port Discovery is really good at the idea of playful learning, and I want to be sure to incorporate fun play for my future students.”
We are proud to support the next generation of educators and help strengthen the pipeline of professionals who will inspire curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning in classrooms and communities.
