What do you like to do for fun? Kids’ answers to this question have changed a lot throughout history, ranging from video games, children’s TV, and puppets to books, outdoor games, and toys. Through innovations in animation, puppet building, storytelling, and game design, adventurers make connections between children’s pastimes and contemporary world events. Virtual visits to the American History and American Art museums’ collections inspire them as they create toys and visual stories for their peers today.
In grade-appropriate, week-long sessions, participants take a deep dive into the Smithsonian’s collections. These Adventures engage young people with unique content about natural sciences, history, art, and so much more. Weekday sessions explore a variety of Smithsonian topics and include virtual visits to museums, hands-on projects, games, collaborative challenges, and conversations with experts during 2 hours of live, online interaction with a team of experienced instructors.
Multiple Offerings! This Adventure is also offered at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET. The same material will be taught in both sessions; please do not register for both.
Registration for this Adventure will close two weeks prior to the first session date. If you are trying to register after that point, please email us at SummerCamp@si.edu and we will do our best to accommodate your request if space still available.
