This week, the Museum hosted @BostonSchools teachers for the @PlaceBasedBOS Summer Institute as they learn how to incorporate historic sites and resources into their teaching. These teachers rose to the occasion and successfully completed our Ship Design Challenge!

We’re rooting for the other guys (go @celtics!) but this did give us a chuckle today!
We're heading to Boston today so you know the guys had to try and get familiar with their new surroundings.
