Answers in Genesis’ Post

Do you have a 3D printer at your home or work? At the Answers in Genesis design studios, where exhibits for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are built, we have many 3D printers. However, our talented design team has just added a bank of 100 3D printers that will be used in building the thousands of houses and other buildings for the massive indoor scale model of 1st century Jerusalem that is currently under construction. The last image shows a rendering of this model that will be in three large sections totaling around 2,000 sq ft. This model will be exhibited in the Jerusalem building currently under construction at the Ark Encounter. Because the model is so large, and there are thousands of buildings to be made, along with 15,000 people to scale and thousands of plants etc., this exhibit won't be open until 2026. It will be a spectacular addition to the Ark Encounter themed attraction.

We had the staff picnic for the hundreds of Answers in Genesis employees and their families Sunday afternoon. In addition to the Highland games that teams participated in during the event, there was also a baking contest, bounce houses for the kids, great food, and great fellowship. We love our AiG staff and families!

For those who would love to work in a Christian organization like Answers in Genesis, Ark Encounter, and Creation Museum, we will soon be opening up times for interviews for seasonal positions. These will take place in June for both the Ark and Creation Museum. This is a great opportunity for people like college students (and others) to take a summer job. We have some housing available onsite. And we have many other positions available across the ministry in various departments (including teaching positions for our Answers Academy K-12 Christian school). Apply online for all of these: AnswersinGenesis.org/jobs Interview times for the seasonal positions: •Creation Museum: Tuesday, June 4, 2024 •Ark Encounter: Thursday, June 13, 2024 For more information about when and where the interviews will happen and to see the current job openings, please visit: •Ark Encounter: ArkEncounter.com/jobs •Creation Museum: CreationMuseum.org/jobs The photos are from just a few of the departments that need staff.

The Answers in Genesis exhibit artist team (that builds exhibits for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum) is now creating digital scale models of all the residential buildings for the massive indoor Jerusalem model to be exhibited in the Jerusalem building under construction at the Ark Encounter attraction. Our artists will need to produce around 6,000 residential buildings for this massive first-century Jerusalem model. The model will measure approximately 60’x40’ and will be the most up-to-date reconstruction of Jerusalem. It is being built in a way that will allow it to remain current (with removable tiles that can be updated) as new excavations happen in Jerusalem, so it will have a long life of relevance to those who want to experience Jerusalem during the time of Jesus. It will be used as an evangelistic tool. This will be an attraction in itself and is slated to be opened early 2026. The first phase of this large construction project is the new Welcome Center and shuttle bus dropoff that will open early 2025. Want to join this amazing team? Visit https://lnkd.in/gK-hrkky

Did you know our staff cook over 80,000 hamburgers in a year at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions? Of course, that’s just one of the many menu items available at the various food venues. During the busy season, tractor trailer loads of food arrive daily at both attractions. Yes, we feed a lot of people. Additionally, it appears that Coca Cola is in high demand, as many of our guest enjoy drinking it! Yes, it arrives by the tractor trailer load also. And during the busy times, thousands of meals a day are served at Emzara’s Kitchen at the Ark. We really need more people to join our culinary team. As the busy season is ramping up (although it already feels like the busy season), we will need a lot more seasonal help. If you're interested in joining our amazing team, check out our seasonal openings on our jobs page at AnswersinGenesis.org/jobs. Thanks to all these hard-working culinary staff members who are often behind the scenes preparing the food for our guests.
