A New School Program: Exhibit Explorations
In 2026, we are piloting our new school program, Exhibit Explorations. This new educator-led program turns our exhibits into an exploratory classroom. This interactive experience, created for students and youth groups in grades 6-12, gives participants the opportunity to explore the exhibits using guided questions designed to spark curiosity, reveal insider information about our collections and science, and engage in conversations with educators and volunteers. Registration is now open.
Q?rius In-Person School Programs Have Closed
In order to pilot our new school program, Exhibit Explorations, we will no longer be offering Q?rius in-person school programs beginning in January 2026.
