Education Programs & Resources

 

We are happy to announce that through the NC Science Museums Grant Program, under the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, we were awarded funds to help sustain the Museum and grow STEM/STEAMA education programs for schoolkids and the public, such as:


  • STEAMA programs in Ila's Kitchen Garden.
  • Programs in the Joann Cowan Brown Botanical Garden.
  • Outreach programs and learning activities for schools, youth groups, homeschoolers, and the public.  


*Note: Due to our STEM Educator's retirement, all education activities are on hold until we find a replacement. In the meantime, please email Director Robin Grotke for more information:

    Our science programs for 5th grade students will help them build a strong foundation in science while having fun in order to develop positive attitudes toward science. Further, we hope to develop skills and content knowledge for students that they will build on throughout their school years.
