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. Code Quest teaches students about the history of computing and complex computing concepts through the logic puzzle game Turing Tumble. A single experience means that the programs will run one after the other starting with all students in CQ and the BE will be after a 30-minute lunch break. 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) Volunteer opportunities available for Code Quest include: - Shadow Presenter - the presenter runs the entire program from start to finish: they present the information and demonstrate and oversee the use of the Turing Tumble games.
