Week 2 has been filled with a lot of different experiences. With the first week in the rear view, i have been able to really dive into my full work schedule and get a feel for most of the tasks that I will be working on at the GIAC.

I start every morning off working on emails and checking to make sure that all our new campers are 100% registered and ready for their day here! After I update anything that needs attended to on those excel sheets, which are the biggest excel sheets i’ve ever seen by the way. I then move onto uploading all of our data from Ticketure, which is the software we use to keep track of how many people are coming into the center throughout the day as well as sell tickets to all of our events! I upload those into MASSIVE excel sheets and then color coordinate them by category.

Once im done with that, its time to open the doors and let the campers in! This week we have had a lot of campers! They’ve been doing all sorts of things from learning how to use binoculars, to identifying different types of birds and turtles, to even conducting some of their own science experiments!

After the kids head home, I get back to my desk and work on social media content to help promote the exhibition and events we have coming up this week!
