Bring the museum to your classroom!

Serving schools and organizations in South Central PA

These exciting, action-packed programs incorporate a variety of unique hands-on activities that blend learning with having fun! Discovery To Go workshops are multi-disciplinary and can be integrated into many areas of your classroom curriculum. Designed for PreK - Grade 3 classes.

How it works:

Workshops have been designed to be presented to one individual class at a time, rather than as a large assembly. This allows each student ample opportunity to participate in the activities! We can offer the same workshop presentation to additional classes during our visit. See investment details below.
