Our Distance Learning programs are nationally recognized!

Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum ranked as one of the top 25 providers for the CILC 2008 – 2009 Pinnacle Award. This annual award is based on outstanding teacher evaluations submitted through the CILC website. Find out more >>

Experience live, interactive Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum programs right in your classroom! Our educators use videoconferencing technology to share science and math activities with your students, engaging them in a dynamic, hands-on learning experience. Program kits sent to individual classroom teachers include nearly everything you need for students’ interactive experiments. Kits are yours to keep! All programs address National Science Education Standards and align with the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations.

Each Distance Learning program includes

• A 45-minute interactive program
• A kit with materials for interactive experiments for 30 students
• A Teacher’s Guide to prepare you, your classroom and your students for the experience
  
• Extension activities and resources for further exploration

Note: Your school or ISD must have videoconferencing equipment to participate
