PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C C. EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS THE MUSEUM ENHANCES ITS EXHIBITIONS THROUGH A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, ALLOWING VISITORS TO LEARN ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND STORIES BEHIND THE INNOVATIONS, AND TO THINK ABOUT THEM IN TERMS OF THEIR IMPACT ON THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. WITH THE OPENING OF "REVOLUTION" IN 2011 CAME THE LAUNCH OF A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS. AMONG THE OPTIONS OFFERED TO VISITORS ARE: DOCENT TOURS: INTERACTIVE, INQUIRY-BASED DISCUSSIONS OFFERED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC 10 TIMES WEEKLY, WITH ADDITIONAL TOURS AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE GROUPS ON REQUEST. IN THE FIRST TEN MONTHS OF 2011, 128 SUCH ADDITIONAL, SPECIAL TOURS WERE OFFERED TO A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 3,400 VISITORS. OF THESE, 61 SUCH SPECIAL TOURS WERE FOR K-12 SCHOOL GROUPS, 27 FOR COLLEGE GROUPS, AND 40 WERE FOR ADULT GROUPS. ARTIFACT DEMONSTRATIONS: DOCENT-LED DEMONSTRATIONS OF, AND INTERACTIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, THE BABBAGE DIFFERENCE ENGINE AND THE DEC PDP-1, PROVIDING VISITORS WITH FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE OF THE OPERATION OF THESE HISTORIC OBJECTS. IN 2011, 9000 VISITORS PARTICIPATED IN BABBAGE ENGINE DEMONSTRATIONS, AND 2520 IN DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE PDP-1. 2011 ALSO SAW THE LAUNCH OF THREE LONG-TERM PROGRAMS. TWO OF THESE PROGRAMS, "GET INVESTED: CASE STUDIES IN INNOVATION" AND "TALKING TO THE FUTURE," ARE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE THIRD, "INVESTIGATE INNOVATION," IS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS. "GET INVESTED" IS A SEMESTER-LONG CLASS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) LEARNING BY ENGAGING STUDENTS IN DESIGN-BASED LEARNING THAT ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY, PROBLEM-SOLVING, HISTORICAL INQUIRY, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL THINKING, ALL WITH A TECHNOLOGY FOCUS. CURRENTLY, 43 STUDENTS ARE PARTICIPATING; THEY ARE DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO SCHOOLS, ONE IN CALIFORNIA AND ONE IN MEXICO. "TALKING TO THE FUTURE" BRINGS INDUSTRY LEADERS TOGETHER WITH STUDENTS INTERESTED IN TECHNOLOGY CAREERS TO DISCUSS THE REALITIES OF THE TECH INDUSTRY AND TO ENGAGE IN HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES RELATED TO REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES FACED BY THOSE AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY TODAY. RICH HILLEMAN, CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER OF ELECTRONIC ARTS, INC., INAUGURATED THE SERIES IN SEPTEMBER, 2011. "INVESTIGATE INNOVATION" IS A MULTIPLE-VISIT PROGRAM THAT USES THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION TO TEACH PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS HOW TO GAIN INFORMATION FROM AUTHENTIC ARTIFACTS AND COMMUNICATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO OTHERS. IN 2011, 96 STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED. ALL OF OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS BUILD ON STATE EDUCATIONAL CONTENT STANDARDS. STUDENTS INTERACT WITH OBJECTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION AND WITH MUSEUM STAFF MEMBERS THROUGH BOTH THE MUSEUM'S PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL RESOURCES. STUDENTS DEVELOP CRITICAL SKILLS FOR SUCCESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY, INCLUDING CRITICAL THINKING, ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATION EXPERTISE, AND COLLABORATION. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY LEARN AND APPLY CONCEPTS FROM SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH IN THE CONTEXT OF COMPUTER HISTORY. THE MUSEUM HAS CONTINUED ITS OUTREACH TO LOCAL LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, WORKING WITH "BEYOND THE BELL," A CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 49-FUNDED AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR K-8 STUDENTS IN THE MOUNTAIN VIEW WHISMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM BOTH THE EAST PALO ALTO ACADEMY AND THE EASTSIDE COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL, BOTH IN ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED EAST PALO ALTO. AS ONE EXPRESSION OF THE MUSEUM'S MISSION TO INSPIRE INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMPUTER USERS AND INNOVATORS, THE MUSEUM PRESENTS AND PARTICIPATES IN EVENTS FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENT GROUPS. IN 2011, THIS INCLUDED DOCENT DEMONSTRATIONS OF MUSEUM ARTIFACTS AT THE AT&T PARK DISCOVERY DAY AS PART OF THE BAY AREA SCIENCE FESTIVAL, AND AT A SCIENCE FESTIVAL AT A LOCAL K-5 MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE MAGNET SCHOOL. THE MUSEUM UTILIZES ADULT VOLUNTEERS TO ACT AS DOCENTS FOR MOST OF OUR ONSITE TEACHING. DOCENTS ARE TRAINED IN PEDAGOGICAL BEST PRACTICES FOR INFORMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND ARE PREPARED WITH DEVELOPMENTAL INFORMATION AND LEARNING THEORY TO ALLOW THEM TO TEACH ABOUT COMPUTER HISTORY IN AGE- AND GRADE-APPROPRIATE WAYS. INITIAL TRAINING INVOLVES SEVERAL HUNDRED HOURS OF DOCENT-CANDIDATE WORK, INCLUDING OVER 60 HOURS OF FORMAL, STAFF-LED TRAINING AT THE MUSEUM. HANDS-ON CONTINUING EDUCATION SESSIONS ARE CONDUCTED MONTHLY, TO ENSURE THAT DOCENT SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE ARE KEPT CURRENT. THE MUSEUM IS ENGAGED IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO ASSESS THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. WE CONDUCT EXTENSIVE EVALUATIONS OF OUR EXHIBITIONS AND OUR VISITORS' LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT OUR TEACHING AND EXHIBITION METHODS REFLECT THE BEST AVAILABLE AND APPLICABLE SCHOLARSHIP AND RESEARCH ABOUT LEARNING STEM- AND HISTORY-RELATED SUBJECTS, IN INFORMAL-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. IN 2011, WE COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF VISITOR LEARNING IN "REVOLUTION." FELLOW AWARDS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, THE MUSEUM HAS INDUCTED A SELECT GROUP OF COMPUTING PIONEERS ANNUALLY INTO ITS HALL OF FELLOWS AND HONORED THEM AT A YEARLY FELLOW AWARDS GALA. MUSEUM FELLOWS ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE REVOLUTIONARY AND LASTING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTING. ONLY 57 FELLOWS HAVE BEEN NAMED BY THE MUSEUM SINCE THE AWARDS' INCEPTION IN 1986. THE WEEK OF FELLOWS EVENTS OFTEN INCLUDES A CAPTURING OF FELLOWS' ORAL HISTORIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE AWARDS PROGRAM. IN FY2011 THE MUSEUM SELECTED THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO BE INDUCTED AS FELLOWS: - BILL JOY, DEVELOPER OF THE BSD UNIX AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-BERKELEY AND CO-FOUNDER OF SUN MICROSYSTEMS; AND - THE TEAM OF WHITFIELD DIFFIE, MARTIN HELLMAN AND RALPH MERKLE FOR THEIR GROUNDBREAKING WORK ON PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY. LECTURES AND EVENTS THE MUSEUM HOSTS 15 TO 20 LECTURES AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS ANNUALLY FEATURING LEADING INNOVATORS; INDUSTRY GIANTS, OPINION LEADERS, EXPERTS, ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS WHO SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STORIES AND INSIGHTS ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS, EVENTS AND DISCOVERIES THAT HAVE SHAPED THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. THE MUSEUM ALSO FREQUENTLY HOSTS OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT HIGHLIGHT AND HONOR THE HISTORY OF COMPUTERS AND CELEBRATE MAJOR INDUSTRY MILESTONES AS THEY OCCUR. IN FY2011 THE MUSEUM HOSTED 14 LECTURES AND IT KICKED OFF ITS LATEST LECTURE SERIES, REVOLUTIONARIES. THE SERIES FEATURES SOME OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED THOUGHT LEADERS IN THE COMPUTING FIELD SHARING THEIR VIEWS ON TECHNOLOGY AND HOW IT SHAPES OUR MODERN WORLD. A WIDE ARRAY OF THINKERS AND IDEAS WERE FEATURED, INCLUDING FACEBOOK FOUNDER AND CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG, PULITZER PRIZE WINNER JANE SMILEY, VENTURE INVESTING PIONEER WILLIAM DRAPER, MICROSOFT CO-FOUNDER PAUL ALLEN, AND MANY OTHERS. THE SERIES OFFERS AN INSIDE VIEW OF THE THINKERS AND THINKING BEHIND SOME OF OUR MODERN WORLD'S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS, AND THE ENTIRE SERIES IS MADE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON THE MUSEUM'S BRANDED YOUTUBE CHANNEL (WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/COMPUTERHISTORY). REVOLUTIONARIES COMPLEMENTS THE LAUNCH OF THE COMPUTER HISTORY MUSEUM'S PERMANENT EXHIBITION: REVOLUTION: THE FIRST 2000 YEARS OF COMPUTING.
