INTRODUCTION TO THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION
OVERVIEW
Join staff for a tour of the Discovery Center. We’ll explore each of the main rooms, including the special exhibit space. We’ll touch on the history of the Gates Foundation as well as some of our key areas of focus, highlighting partner stories, innovations and ideas to get involved throughout. Tours are conversational in nature, and we invite participation through sharing, asking questions and engaging in dialogue. We recommend planning for about 45-60 minutes.
RECOMMENDED AGES
Grades 6+
WHAT TO EXPECT
Staff will welcome your group at the front desk and then shift into the Discovery Center galleries. Depending on the size of the group, we may split you up into smaller groups among the staff to help keep engagement levels high. We’ll then rotate through the different exhibit areas sharing stories and engaging the group in conversation. We are happy to adapt the focus area for your group if there is a particular topic of interest.
