Custom Programs for Grades 7 through 12
Museum educators can create custom programs, facilitated at the museum, to suit particular class needs.
Pricing
It costs $250 per hour for our staff to create and deliver a custom presentation. Additional research and presentation time will incur an additional $250 per hour. These fees do not include museum admission fees.
These recent examples demonstrate how museum spaces support hands-on connections to material covered in the classroom:
- A seventh-grade class visited Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden to sketch plants as part of their study of botany and to inspire poetry writing.
- An eighth-grade class visited eGameRevolution to explore the history of electronic games.
- An eleventh-grade class explored the concepts of continuity and change by studying artifacts in the America at Play exhibit.
Learning Through Play
Explore teaching and learning through play in four areas of child development—social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. Enjoy an interactive presentation by a museum educator and then experience the museum’s interactive exhibits and discover how each reinforces learning through play.
Behind-the-Scenes Tours
Meet with a museum professional to learn more about the museum’s world-renowned collection of toys, games, dolls, electronic games, and other items related to play; exhibit design and fabrication; and The Strong’s unparalleled play-related library and archive materials.
Field Trips
Museum field trips provide schools the opportunity to explore the museum independently.
