     The third week of my internship at the Miami-Dade Military Museum began with creating a QR code sheet for the museum. The museum received a call regarding our yelp page having too few reviews. I set up a QR code sheet for the welcome center of the museum so visitors could provide reviews of the museum on yelp. After I made the QR code sheet, I had to print out a hard copy. I then made a hard copy of the survey sheet I completed last week.  Once I made a hard copy of the museum's survey,    I had to help the museum prepare a display of their military jeep. The museum wanted the jeep to be positioned outside for the mayor of Miami-Dade County, Daniella Levine Cava, because she was giving a speech near the museum.  The military jeep was very old so we had to get it re-started and make sure that everything worked smoothly. After a few tries , we got the jeep to work and we set up a sign for the mayor on the jeep. Lastly, we scouted for an area by the ...

  January 18, 2024 My second week at the Miami Dade Military Museum started with a white board cleanup. The museum has many appointments, schedules, and administrative duties written on the white board. This helps to remind the staff about upcoming events. The whiteboard contains 6 months of the year. Every time a staff member needs to write down an important update regarding the museum, the whiteboard is a useful tool for this purpose. The board needed to be recleaned in order to fix the past months of the year. My duty was to erase everything on the white board from the past months, and replace the months with correct dates for the new year. Because the whiteboard had not been erased in a very long time, I had to use Windex and a rag to clean the board. Once the board was cleaned, I re-dated the board for the new year of 2024.  After I completed the white board project, I helped the museum with the completion of building a brick path. The museum has a path that encompasses...

  January 11, 2024 Before the start of my official day at the Miami Dade Military Museum, I was invited to attend the museum's grand opening on November 11 th , 2023, on Veterans Day. The mayor of Miami-Dade County, Daniella Levine Cava, attended the museum’s grand opening. On December 12, 2023, I attended the museum for a workday and received a tour of the museum. My assignment was to lay sand over the museum's central air conditioning pipes, to protect the pipes from Florida's heat and natural elements. Although the general public’s focus is on the history found inside a museum, it is important to maintain the external elements of a museum. This presents the museum as a safe and presentable place for the public to enjoy. The Miami Dade Military Museum is under the National Historic Register as a historic building. The museum was built between 1942-1947 during WWII and served as the U.S. Navy's headquarters for the Naval Air Station in Richmond, FL. This station was ...
