Science Interpreter

As a Science Interpreter at The Franklin Institute, Brittany strives to make complex scientific topics interactive and fun through various demonstrations, interactions, and facilitation all over the museum. Brittany knows that people of all ages learn more efficiently when they are having fun, so you might find her experimenting with hydrogen balloons to teach visitors about chemical reactions, or making ice cream with liquid nitrogen to demonstrate different states of matter.
