Who Will Be a Part of Museum History?
The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago is busy choosing from over 1,000 applicants who answered our call to take on a once-in-a-lifetime assignment: spend a Month at the Museum, to live and breathe science 24/7 for 30 days. From October 20 to November 18, 2010, this person's mission will be to experience all the fun and education that fits in this historic 14-acre building, living here full-time and reporting it all to the outside world.
Sure, it's a commitment. But the person who is chosen and can successfully complete the Month at the Museum will walk away with a prize of $10,000, a package of tech gadgets, an honorary lifetime membership to MSI, and new knowledge and experiences that may just be transforming.
