Summer 2019 has had the Education Division at The Mammoth Site bursting at the seams with new creative and refined ideas and programs. The Mammoth Site summer interns have each worked extremely hard on individual projects called deliverables. A deliverable can be anything from brochures to organizing a collection; it is something that produces a visible product useful for The Mammoth Site by the end of their summer program. Both museum engagement interns and our conservation interns have developed, researched, and initiated some really amazing things this summer!
