1. Describe your experiences working at Zeum during the Winter Holidays (one of the busiest times of the year!). If you have worked here for more than one Winter Holiday season, share any experiences from those years.
This past winter holiday season was a lot different that past holidays. This is my 3rd winter holidays and this was definitely the most busiest ever. I was surprised that it was this busy because of the recession, people losing their jobs and cut backs. This season went a lot smoother in terms of order, structure and support. Even though we had 400 plus people each day and 515 plus on the last days before school was crazy busy, it went smooth because we had managers, office staff, team leaders and ZeumMasters all working together and communicating effectively.
2. What did you enjoy and gain from the 2009 Winter Olympic Games? What suggestions and additions would you like to make for next year?
What I liked most about the winter olympics is that the games were really fun this year. We were more competitive this year than last and all the ZeumMasters and educators worked together and made everyone in their group feel like a team. For next year, my suggestions would be get the point system more clear because we were told different things by different people and to get ZeumMaster input on what games they want.
3. How will you apply your experiences from the morning team building exercises and the teamwork witnessed on the museum floor to the upcoming spring months?
I would apply the stuff that I learned with the team building to the the spring months by remembering what i learned and also the effective communicating and keep up those skills.

Michelle's Holiday Reflections
1. Describe your experiences working at Zeum during the Winter Holidays (one of the busiest times of the year!). If you have worked here for more than one Winter Holiday season, share any experiences from those years.
Working at Zeum during the winter holiday was a good experience for me. It was one of the busiest days of the year but it wasn't so bad because of all the help and support I got from the staff working here. I thought i wouldn't be able to handle the big crowds but I actually did. I felt like I developed my communication and leadership skills even more.
2. What did you enjoy and gain from the 2009 Winter Olympic Games? What suggestions and additions would you like to make for next year?
The Winter Olympic Games for this year was really fun. It was a good way to start the morning. The games helped me get all the energy I needed to start the day. The fact that it was a competition was even more fun because of the prizes we would get at the end. I really enjoyed the games every morning as I got to work with the other ZeumMasters as well.
3. How will you apply your experiences from the morning team building exercises and the teamwork witnessed on the museum floor to the upcoming spring months?
I will apply my experiences from the morning team building exercises and the teamwork witnessed on the museum floor to the upcoming months by continuing to work as hard as i did. When it comes to free days i know that it will work out because of everything I learned, experienced and got out of the winter breaks.

Happy 2010 from the ZeumMasters!
Happy 2010 from the ZeumMaster team! We enter the new year with amazing experiences from the floor, reflections from morning workshops, and of course OUR STORIES, told by US.
In the most recent morning meeting, we asked the teens to share their thoughts on the recent 2009 holiday season at Zeum. For those of you who have not experienced a 400+ visitor day at our museum, it is NOT an EASY task. But what's amazing is how the ZeumMasters make running a packed museum LOOK EASY to their visitors. Yes, these 24 high school interns are a huge part of making the magic happen here. Come visit and find out for yourself!
Below are the 3 questions we asked each ZeumMaster:
1. Describe your experiences working at Zeum during the Winter Holidays (one of the busiest times of the year!). If you have worked here for more than one Winter Holiday season, share any experiences from those years.
2. What did you enjoy and gain from the 2009 Winter Olympic Games? What suggestions and additions would you like to make for next year?
3. How will you apply your experiences from the morning team building exercises and the teamwork witnessed on the museum floor to the upcoming spring months?
Look out for each ZeumMasters responses and our thrilling ZeumMaster 2009 Winter Olympics short film by educator Eli Africa!
