Student experiences last 90 minutes and are always free. We invite teachers to consider planning for an additional 30 minutes of self-guided time after their workshop for students to explore the interactive exhibits.
Our experiences are designed for students in grades six through twelve. and can be adapted for college-age groups. For more information, see our Student Experiences FAQ. Virtual school experiences can also be arranged.
