Story Hub

Tell the story of your museum visit in Story Hub: The Mini-Movie Memory Maker. In this multimedia station, children and the adults in their lives can produce a mini-movie about their experiences to share and revisit online after they leave the museum.

How Adults Can Support Playful Learning in Story Hub

  • The Story Hub program (on-screen) facilitates adult-child interaction by giving prompts and helping adults to support the child’s conversation and reflection. Follow the prompts on the screen together.

  • After your museum visit, download and view the movie together and talk about it. What were some of the most interesting moments from your movie? Were there any moments that made you smile or giggle upon watching it? Are there other memories from your museum visit that you want to talk about more?

  • Chat about whether there is anyone else with whom the child would want to share their recording. You can forward the e-mail link to them.
