We are curious...we love to learn about theworld, the people in it and how things work.We are creative...we paint, sew, draw, build,silkscreen, solder, and express ourselvesthrough what we make. We are risk takers…we test things, try stuff, and toil to turn ourideas into realities. We are social…we learnfrom each other and share what we learn with those we love. We are dreamers…we trust our intuition and collaborate with others to create the world we’ve imagined. We are forever young…no matter how old we are, we give ourselves permission to play!

Amazed. Inspired. Humbled.

These words come to mind when reflecting on all that the Children’sMuseum of Pittsburgh was able to accomplish in fiscal year 2012.

Together, we served 250,000 visitors, marking our second straightyear of record-breaking attendance. We reached an additional 78,000people through outreach to schools, libraries, and festivals throughout Western Pennsylvania. Our membership increased to 5,000 familiesfor the first time in our 29-year history. We ramped up our service tounderserved families: providing free field trips to 7,600 students andteachers from disadvantaged schools; offering $1 admission to morethan 13,000 Green ACCESS/EBT cardholders (a 17% increase); and wel-coming more than 5,870 children and families on three free admissiondays (up from two days last year).

With a focus on learning and growing, we made major investmentsin our exhibits and programs, our facility, and our neighborhood. Weopened the popular new MAKESHOP,TM a space for children and familiesto create do-it-yourself (DIY) projects using digital and physical mate-rials. We also developed an online resource for kid makers called The MAKESHOP Show.TM To launch those efforts we threw a big familyfestival, our first-ever Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire.

Last year, our online home www.pittsburghkids.org received amajor overhaul, now featuring user-friendly responsive web design thatallows the site to adapt to the size of the user’s device. We also com-pleted a restoration of the historic Post Office building and its rotundathrough our new Building Reserves Fund, established with supportfrom The Kresge Foundation, to address our short-term capital needs.

Our biggest milestone last year: the successful revitalization of BuhlCommunity Park at Allegheny Square. From a derelict public park to abeautiful urban oasis, the new park would not have been possible with-out the amazing support of our generous donors, Board of Directors,staff, partners, and volunteers.

Thank you for your unwavering support of our work on behalf ofchildren and families in our community.

Sincerely,

Evan Rosenberg Jane Werner

President, Board of Directors Executive Director

MAKESHOPTM

Permanent exhibits continue to promote the Museum’s longtimePlay with Real Stuff philosophy, which asserts that in our ever-changing, fast-paced technological society, children need a solidfoundation of learning activities that are concrete, real, and rele-vant to their lives.

MAKESHOP, which opened to the public on October 23,2011, embodies the Real Stuff approach by giving children andfamilies access to real tools, processes, and digital and physicalmaterials supported by expert teaching artists and staff. Foundedthrough a one-of-a-kind partnership with Carnegie Mellon Univer-sity’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) and the Museum’sresearch partner, University of Pittsburgh Center for Learning in Outof School Environments (UPCLOSE), MAKESHOP’s research-basedapproach provides the opportunity for the Museum to reach chil-dren, especially older youth, with deep, interest-driven, highly engaging experiences.

MAKESHOP activities include woodworking, sewing, weaving,and circuit-building, as well as technology-infused activities such as tangible block computer programming, 3D printing, andstop-motion animation. Taking traditional making a step further,MAKESHOP explores what happens when physical and digitalmaterials meet through projects like sewing with conductivethread and programming with LED lights.

MAKESHOP is at the forefront of a national movement toincorporate maker spaces into informal learning environmentsand was cited by the American Association of Museums as oneof the 2012 Trends to Watch. MAKESHOP was made possible withfunding from an anonymous foundation, the Claude WorthingtonBenedum Foundation, The Grable Foundation, and the John D.and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Play with Real Stuff: Children need asolid foundation of learning activities that are concrete, real, and relevant totheir lives. MAKESHOPTM provides interest-driven, do-it-yourself experiences thathelp children to learn and discover.

The MAKESHOP ShowTM

Created in 2011 through a Spark grant from The Sprout Fund, TheMAKESHOP Show is an online resource hub that engages youthages 6–10 in maker culture and extends the Museum’s MAKESHOPto new audiences. Produced in partnership with The SchmutzCompany, The MAKESHOP Showcelebrates the joy of makingthough originally produced project videos, links to exciting makercontent and downloadable resources for kids, parents and teach-ers. Children vote each week to help the Show develop projectsfor the videos, such as how to make a leaf blower hovercraft, adrill-powered skateboard, a pegboard Lite Brite, and hardwarejewelry. Gaining traction with a national audience, the Showwebsite has been viewed over 15,000 times with a third of thoseviews originating internationally, from 96 countries.

Pittsburgh Mini Maker FaireTo celebrate the launch of MAKESHOP and connect with localmaker culture in a festival-like environment, on October 23, 2011,the Museum co-hosted the first Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire withHackPittsburgh. Featuring do-it-yourself robots, mobiles, instru-ments, electronics, 3D printing, soldering, wool spinning, alter-native energy, and much more, the Faire celebrated the best ofDIY creativity through demonstrations, performances, and hands-on workshops by over 70 makers. The first of its kind in the region,the Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire joins more than 65 Maker Fairesaround the world!

CHANGING EXHIBITS, PROGRAMS, AND EDUCATIONOur own How People Make Things (HPMT) exhibit returned tothe Museum from October 2011 through February 2012. Createdby the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in 2007, HPMT has beentraveling the country ever since. Based on the popular factoryvisit segments from the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood TV series,HPMT links familiar childhood objects to their manufacturingprocesses. Sponsored by the PPG Industries Foundation, 57,000visitors saw the exhibit for the first time.

From February through May 2012 our Wheels exhibit, also cre-ated in-house, delighted visitors with wheel building activities,real Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and a vehicle test track fea-turing a bevy of vehicles for racing. Sponsored by Erie Insurance,Chip Ganassi Racing Teams, and NuGo Nutrition, with supportfrom Dominion, several Wheels components, including GiantTires, a sculptural collection of industrial tires, and Magnetic CarPark, a 37-foot bow-shaped test course for child-built vehicles,continue to engage visitors in our Garage.

Presented by Equitable Gas with support from Pepsi, The Wizardof Oz: Children’s Educational Exhibit, featured from May throughSeptember 2012, gave visitors the chance to travel from the GaleFarm to the colorful Land of Oz to explore Munchkinland, The Witch’s Castle, and The Emerald City. To add to the fun, theMuseum displayed The Witch by Andy Warhol from its fine artcollection and hosted Oz Rocks! an action packed live musicalperformance featuring a toe-tapping, hand-clapping repertoireof Oz songs.

We are proud to have been the home of the Mister Rogers’Neighborhood exhibit for more than 13 years. Fred Rogers is notonly a beloved icon for Pittsburgh, he was a bedrock to the Chil-dren’s Museum from its inception. We believe it’s important to notsimply memorialize Fred’s work, but help today’s children and fam-ilies better relate to his invaluable messages. To that end, in FY12we integrated our Mister Rogers’ exhibit components throughout

The Learning Impact: Children and families are spending significantly moretime in our newly designed Nursery andMAKESHOP,TM a sign of deeper engage-ment and learning.

the Museum. These iconic pieces are now in exhibits that com-plement the type of play they inspire. For example, King Friday’sCastle is now in the Theater, the Trolley is in the Garage, and Xthe Owl's tree and a set of the original puppets from the Neigh-borhood of Make-Believe are on display in the Nursery.

The Learning ImpactWorking with our in-house research partner, UPCLOSE, we foundthat our hands-on, Real Stuff approach makes a difference in vis-itor learning. In fact, evaluations of our renovated Nursery revealedthat visitors spend 30% more time in the new exhibit. In MAKE-SHOP, 64% of families reported spending between 30 minutes and2 hours. In previous studies, the average length of time visitorsspent in exhibits was between 6 and 20 minutes. These increases directly correlate to deeper visitor engagement, a powerful sign oflearning for children and families.

Working With ArtistsTOUGH ART: Five artists—Felipe Castelblanco, Jennifer Myers,Daniel Luchman, Zach Dorn, and Christina Zaris—were commis-sioned to design, test, and fabricate original, interactive art that wastough enough to withstand the enthusiasm of children. Open fromSeptember 2011 through February 2012, Tough Art installationsincluded the Giant Interactive Kaleidoscope and The Invisible Wall,a piece that connected the Children’s Museum with a similar in-stallation at the Maloka Children’s Museum in Bogotá, Colombia.

F.I.N.E. ARTIST RESIDENCY: Eight talented artists worked to intro-duce Museum visitors to new art techniques through workshops,demonstrations, and exploration. Made possible by The Fine Foun-dation, this year featured whimsical papercut puppetry by KathrynCarr, painting with bicycles across 20’ canvases with Bob Ziller, andactivating origami with robotic sensors with Deren Guler.

PITTSBURGH PERFORMS: Each year the Museum introducesyoung visitors to the arts through live cultural performances. Thisyear, audiences delighted in a diverse blend of cultures from allover the world including Japanese taiko drumming, the TibetanMonks of Gaden Jangtse Monastery, the August Wilson Dance Ensemble, Afrika Yetu, Zany Umbrella Circus, Hip Hop on L.O.C.K,and Broadway actor Tim Hartman.

CHARM BRACELET PROJECT: Working to strengthen our NorthSide neighborhood, funding from the National Endowment for theArts supported bird music workshops and a public performance artpiece called BEBOP/KIDBOP by Michael Pestel in partnership withthe National Aviary and The Mattress Factory; the installation ofDick Esterle’s 10’ x 92’ digital print entitled 3 THREE *** distant mem-ory at the Federal Street UNDERPASS gallery; and the creation ofthe Lantern, a neighborhood-based public art installation by SandyKessler Kaminksi and Jill Joyce, in partnership with the PittsburghProject, honoring African American history in the United States.

Sustainability Education We believe that a healthy, sustainable environment plays a big rolein helping children to grow and develop strong lifestyle habits,from eating well to being physically active. In keeping with thiscommitment, last year we opened our first Outdoor Classroom,featuring an organic herb garden, fruit trees, a rainwater barrel, andopen, green space. With support from Alcoa Foundation, we alsolaunched the Food City Fellows youth program, employing 10 underserved North Side high school students in an 8-week sum-mer project about community sustainability, environmental issues,and agriculture.

BUHL COMMUNITY PARK AT ALLEGHENY SQUARE The revitalization of Buhl Community Park at Allegheny Squaremarked the realization of the Museum’s longtime goal to rede-velop the historic public park located outside its front doors. Inpartnership with the City of Pittsburgh, and with the leadershipsupport of the many generous funders (page 13), the Children’sMuseum led a $6.1 million effort to transform this once desolateconcrete plaza into a vibrant community space for its visitors, theNorth Side, the city, and the region. Featuring thousands of nativeplants and more than 100 trees, a grassy meadow, environmen-tally friendly water gardens, and a central plaza, the park is nowa beautiful urban oasis.

Cloud Arbor, an interactive sculpture by the celebrated artistand MacArthur “genius” awardee Ned Kahn, uses mist to createan ever-evolving cloud-like sphere. Made up of 64 stainless steelpoles reaching 32 feet into the sky, Cloud Arbor’s center polesare embedded with high pressure nozzles that spray an ultra-finemist of water. When wind conditions are calm, the fog that

emerges creates a spherical cloud shape; as the wind picks up,the spherical shape is distorted and the mist flows in various directions throughout the park. Since its opening in June 2012,Cloud Arbor, which was made possible through a generous giftfrom the Charity Randall Foundation, has become a must-seepublic art work for the city.

The new Buhl Community Park would not be possible with-out the dedication and support of the Park Campaign Committeeled by Anne Lewis, Emeritus Board Member and Honorary ParkCampaign Chair, and Campaign Co-Chairs Jennifer Broadhurstand Michael Duckworth. With their efforts and the great work ofthe Campaign Committee, including Adam F. Kelson, Karen L.Larrimer, Richard I. Lerach, Evan Rosenberg, William T. Valenta,and Penny E. Zacharias, the Museum surpassed its fundraisinggoal for the project.
