I remember my first summer job at a department store. It was air conditioned but it wasn't very exciting. Of course, I didn't live near a Museum like the Nelson-Atkins that offers teen agers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a Teen Guide. The job consists mainly of leading groups of children on tours of the Museum, including the Kansas City Sculpture Park.
Yesterday was a busy day for the Teen Guides. I noticed several groups within a stone's throw of one another on the north plaza. One was discussing Shuttlecocks, another was investigating One Sun / 34 Moons and the final group was exploring Rush Hour.
The group above was just about to launch their own shuttlecocks at the guide. After they threw the birdies, the guide asked the kids to look at how they had landed. The children noted they had landed on the noses. However, the Shuttlecock they were viewing is positioned on the other end, balanced precariously on the edge of a feather.

The Teen Guides are doing a fantastic job! They are great at engaging the groups and the kids learn so much and have fun at the same time.
