Students will use skills like collaboration, communication and critical thinking as they create, make, tinker and play with individualized, hands-on activities designed to spark their interest in all things STEAM. Watch them transform into engineers and mathematicians as they tinker with design challenges. Encourage their inner artists as they express their thoughts and feelings through art. Explore biology, paleontology, aerospace, geology and more as they investigate science. We will challenge your students to use problem-solving skills to address real-world issues, all while having fun!

BECOME A SCIENTIST

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a biologist, paleontologist, naturalist or engineer? Learn about some of the scientists at the Indiana State Museum as students conduct science experiments, solve problems and investigate solutions. STEAM Bring a bit of the museum to your students! Explore science, technology, engineering, art and math through design challenges, art making and tinkering activities that tie into the newest and coolest museum experiences. DETAILS FOR A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE + PROGRAM IN A BOX KIT If the museum staff can’t come to you in-person, we can provide a virtual experience with our Program in a Box classroom kit. Museum staff will deliver (within a 30 mile radius) to your site a Program in a Box kit with all the supplies needed and instructions to complete the selected program. Shipping is also available for an additional fee for locations outside the 30 mile radius. A museum educator will hold a 45–60 minute Zoom call where we present the activity topic, walk your students through the activity, answer any questions from students and end with time for reflection and sharing of projects. For multiple session programs, the museum can host a Padlet page (digital platform) for your students where they can share photos or videos of their projects with the group along with feedback and additional resources from museum staff. EXPLORING ART + EMOTIONS

Students will explore sensory awareness and regulation as they paint and construct their own art masterpiece, collaborate with peers as they play with patterns, color and texture, and create art

that reflects their emotions, thoughts and actions. CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS
