A successful financial professional based in Chicago, Maarten de Jeu is the founder and managing partner of SVM Business Advisory. Maarten de Jeu previously co-chaired the Science Spins program at the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI), where the goal was to help educate visitors about the history of the bicycle.
Currently the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere, the MSI uses its Farrell Fellows internship to engage Chicago-area teens in scientific learning. Held during the summer months, the internship takes place over five weeks and includes coursework in areas such as leadership development, public speaking, and science. At the end of the program, students have the opportunity to present interactive science activities in their communities and at the museum itself.
In 2014, 40 teens joined forces to stage America’s Got Bubbles, a show that educated viewers about the chemistry of bubbles. During their visits to 17 public library branches throughout Chicago, participants in the Farrell Fellows program taught young children to engineer carnival tents from newspaper and launch model rockets on a high striker game.
