Distance Learning
The Museum is home to more than 125 years of research, collections, exhibits and educational resources, but these are anything but limited to the physical constructs of the building. Through interactive videoconferencing, a resource-laden website and well-trained professional education staff, the Museum can also come right to your classroom.
Explore natural and cultural history in an exciting videoconference format, and mix live interaction between students and Museum educators with a detailed, content-rich curriculum that can't be found in textbooks. Students can see artifacts and collections unavailable to the public and ask questions during real-time learning sessions. Point-to-Point programs are available on-demand and can be scheduled online. Please schedule sessions at least two weeks in advance.
Many Multi-point programs are available at pre-scheduled times at a reduced cost, some are even free! All programs are aligned with National and Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, and are adapted to the appropriate skill sets for your students. Programs are 45-60 minutes in length. Recipients are responsible for all line charges.
