THE BALTIMORE MUSEUM OF INDUSTRY INTERPRETS THE DIVERSE AND SIGNIFICANT HUMAN STORIES BEHIND LABOR AND INNOVATION IN BALTIMORE, CULTIVATING A SENSE OF BELONGING AND INSPIRING VISITORS TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT THE INTERSECTION OF WORK AND SOCIETY.

  • EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING: DURING FY2024, THE NUMBER OF ON-SITE FIELD TRIPS CONTINUED TO INCREASE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. AND WHILE THE BMI CONTINUED TO OFFER VIRTUAL AND OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES, THE MAJORITY OF TEACHERS OPTED FOR IN-PERSON TOURS AND HANDS-ON PROGRAMS, LIKE OUR KIDS' CANNERY AND KIDS' MOTORWORKS. DURING THE FY24 SCHOOL YEAR, THE MUSEUM SERVED MORE THAN 23,000 STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND CHAPERONES. YEAR-OVER-YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE BMI'S FIELDTRIP AUDIENCE ARE REPEAT VISITORS, A TESTAMENT TO THE TRUST TEACHERS HAVE IN THE BMI TO PROVIDE IMPACTFUL AND EFFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING. THE BMI ALSO CONTINUED TO OFFER THE MARYLAND ENGINEERING CHALLENGES IN FY24, SERVING APPROX. 500 YOUNG ENGINEERS IN THE CHALLENGES HELD ON THE BMI'S CAMPUS.
