UT’s McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture is now offering registration for the 2017–2018 Enhanced Learning Program for K-12 Homeschool Students.
The program offers eight sessions throughout the academic year. These classes last 90 minutes and will cover themes relevant to the museum’s diverse collection. Some of the topics featured this year are: Northwest Coast Art, Bones and Fossils, Archaeology and Native Peoples of Tennessee, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and China, and Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee. Enrolled students will tour the galleries and participate in hands-on learning activities at the end of the session.
Interested families should register via Eventbrite. The cost of a class is $5 per student. Reservations are required. Payment must be made in advance, and the fee is nonrefundable. Please note that caregivers will be asked to sign a release form as students will be under the supervision of museum staff.
