Structural Ideas for the Future Program
-Hours: 10AM-4PM. -5 days a week over the summer, Saturdays only during the school year. -Each teen should have a mentor. -Mentors could be museum staff, including curators, reenactors, and designers. -Mentors could also be off-site, as long as their focus is American History. -Teens should be assigned mentors based on their personal interests. -Paid internship format.
NMAH App
Nothing will get teens more engaged with the museum than an interactive app that provides extra information on each exhibit and brings history to life!
"If you could describe these last 2 weeks in 3-5 words what would they be?" Joelle asked 19 of her counterparts.
The M in MC Hammer stands for Museum. Just like Mr. Hammer, the National Museum of American History says that you canât touch it either!

Draisine, ca. 1818
This weekâs Smithsonian Snapshot celebrates National Bike Month with the forerunner of the modern bicycle: this ca. 1818 draisine.
In 1817, Karl Drais, a young inventor in Baden, Germany, designed and built a two-wheeled, wooden vehicle that was straddled and propelled by walking swiftly. Drais called it the laufmaschine or ârunning machine.â
A forester for the Grand Duke of Baden, Drais used his laufmaschine to inspect the Dukeâs forest. The laufmaschine soon became a novelty among Europeans, who named it the âdraisine.â
By 1818, the draisine craze reached the United States. Charles Wilson Peale, a well-known portrait artist, helped to popularize the draisine by displaying one in his museum in Philadelphia. Many American examples were made, and rentals and riding rinks became available in Eastern cities.
By 1820, the high cost of the vehicle, combined with its lack of practical value, limited its appeal and made it little more than an expensive toy. The two-wheeled vehicle would not become sustained until pedals were added in the late 1800s.
Donated to the Smithsonian in 1964, this draisine is the oldest cycle in its collection of 61 cycles. They reflect social trends and technological developments that have shaped the growth and popularity of riding since 1818.
