Originally developed for The BASS Museum's summer camp, this two-day immersive program introduces children to Miami’s rich and often surprising history through storytelling, interactive lectures, and hands-on activities. Led by Malcolm Laredo, the program covers topics such as Indigenous life, environmental change, early city planning, and architecture in ways that are engaging and age-appropriate. The experience is designed to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of place in young participants.

A key feature of the program is the inclusion of a pop-up archive and interactive installation, allowing students to handle replica artifacts, view digitized historical materials, and contribute their own interpretations. This immersive environment transforms traditional history education into a participatory experience and encourages students to see themselves as part of Miami’s ongoing story. The program is fully adaptable and can be brought to schools, camps, museums, and community spaces.
