Pavek Museum
The Broadcast Experience is one of the Pavek Museum's most popular field trips. Participants begin with a 10-15 minute tour of the museum and then they perform a live radio broadcast on KPAV 1200 AM. After the broadcast, which is recorded and sent to teachers/organizers, participants compete against each other in a TV-style game show to reinforce what they learned in the experience. Volunteer opportunities available for Broadcast Experiences include: - Engineer (runs the radio show - turns on mics, plays music, guides participants through the show, etc.) - Presenter (give the 10-15 minute tour and runs the game show) - Teletype Operator (during the live radio broadcast, a breaking news report is delivered through our teletype. The operator helps the students write their breaking news stories and then sends the news story from the teletype in the exhibit hall to the one in the radio studio) - Assistant (helps the engineer during practice and the live radio show and helps the presenter with the game show)

After the broadcast, which is recorded and sent to teachers/organizers, participants compete against each other in a TV-style game show to reinforce what they learned in the experience. The Pavek Museum has a joint field trip program with the Bakken Museum where schools and organizations can visit two museums in one field trip. Double experiences means there is two groups of 20+ students in one day and a 20 minute break between the two groups is included. Volunteer opportunities available for Broadcast Experiences include: - Engineer (runs the radio show - turns on mics, plays music, guides participants through the show, etc.) - Presenter (give the 10-15 minute tour and runs the game show) - Teletype Operator (during the live radio broadcast, a breaking news report is delivered through our teletype.

After the broadcast, which is recorded and sent to teachers/organizers, participants compete against each other in a TV-style game show to reinforce what they learned in the experience. The Electromagnetism Experience (EME) teaches students about the relationship between magnetism and electricity through a series of hands on experiments and ends with a scavenger hunt in the museum. A double experience means that the programs (BE and EME) will run at the same time. Half the students will start with the EME and the other half with the BE and then after a 30-minute lunch break the groups will switch.

Participants can embark on an empowering journey of learning electronics repairs! They'll learn a new skill with our debut Crash Course: How to Solder, tailored to demystify this essential skill. At the Pavek Museum, we're driven by a mission to share and inspire, and our Crash Course is crafted precisely for that purpose. Designed to be accessible to everyone, the Crash Course operates on a pay-what-you-can model and participants can choose from four convenient time slots. Join us in fostering a community of knowledge-sharing and skill-building as participants seize the opportunity to overcome intimidation and make electronics repair an approachable adventure. Questions? Call or email Education Manager, Nina Larson at 952-926-8198 or nina@pavekmuseum.org. Equipment and personal protective equipment provided by the Pavek Museum.

While a self-guided tour of the Pavek Museum can give you interpretive insight into the history, technology, and significance of electronic communication, nothing beats one of our private guided tours. Our guided tour is the most intriguing and engaging way to discover what the Pavek Museum truly has to offer. You will enjoy blasts from the past and expert demonstrations of some of our most unique artifacts while you learn about the history and cultural significance of electronic communication. Surrounded by vintage and "please don't say that's already considered vintage" pieces, we make sure you leave the museum with just the right amount of nostalgia while still pondering "what will they invent next?""

The Guest Ambassador at the Welcome Desk is the first thing guests see when they arrive at the Pavek Museum. The Guest Ambassador rings guests up, tracks attendance, checks in groups, and helps guests as needed. There are also two collections projects that can be worked on during a welcome desk shift.
