The goal of the museum is to make the community weatherwise. In order to achieve this goal, the museum offers weather camps, weather labs, scout merit badge classes, weather talks and teacher workshops throughout the year.
Each summer, Weather Camp™ is an exciting opportunity for people of all ages to learn about weather from actual meteorologists! Weather Camp sessions are divided into age groups. One camp session is offered for children ages 5-7, five sessions are offered for children ages 7-11, five sessions are offered for children ages 12-17 and one session is offered for adults. Camps begin on June 12, 2009 and run through August 7, 2009. Topics include weather basics, forecasting, tornado formation, hurricane formation and tracking, climate, weather history, career opportunities, and much more! WRC Weather Camp™ was started in 1993 by Weather Research Center President, Jill F. Hasling, CCM. It was designed to be a way for children to learn more about weather and weather safety. Meteorologists at WRC have developed an exciting curriculum using computers, activities, games, demonstrations and experiments to fill the day.
Responsibilities:
The intern will also have the opportunity to spend time in the museum operating the exhibits, interacting with visitors and giving tours. The intern will be able to use the museum as an educational resource during camp sessions.

Responsibilities for Gulf Coast Weather Pioneers Project:
The project entitled "Gulf Coast Weather Pioneers" will be created to inform the public of the weather history of a large area from southeast Texas to southwest Louisiana. To do so we will partner with Harris County libraries and museums to incorporate their own collections of early weather observer records to help build the exhibit. With this newfound information we will create a new exhibit that will include old weather equipment, a Weather Pioneer Website, a Weather Pioneer Video Exhibit, and finally monthly video showings of the 1953 Waco Tornado and the infamous Hurricane Carla from 1961. The exhibit will open with a series of guest lecturers that will include weather historians, National Weather Service and National Weather Association employees, Texas A&M professors and people employed at the National Hurricane Center.
Responsibilities for Educational Outreach Programs:
Weather is a part of our everyday lives, and it is something that everyone needs to know about.

Weather Merit Badge classes for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are offered monthly on site as well as Teacher Workshops. We would like to increase the amount of classes given and the amount of participants in the classes. Other ways that we serve the community are through our Weather Labs where we go to communities and schools to teach the basics of weather and guided tours of the museum with a meteorologist.
