We are looking for projects to get our audience engaged in activities they can do outside or in the comfort of their home. Check out the Citizen Science section of the Digital Resources tab of the website for examples.

  • Hands-on activities families can do at home as they follow along with your instructions and demonstrations during a live streamed online event

  • Informal talks, performances, or demonstrations across the STEAM disciplines presented as a live streamed online event, pre-recorded presentation or film screening.

  • Walk visitors through self-guided experiences in your museum, garden, or even their own backyards through thoughtfully designed scavenger hunts, geocaching adventures, or other similar projects.
