Outreach Programs

We provide hands-on, interactive programs that meet or supplement curriculum objectives and provide educational fun. Outreach Exhibits and Programs feature a short, informational learning introduction on the topic and exciting exhibits, followed by Hands-on Exploration by your students or guests at any venue.

Family Programs and Wee Discover

These programs are free with admission and to Curious Kids’ members. Experiment, create and have fun with Family Programs every week at Curious Kids' Museum and new Discovery Zone! New programs in Science, History, Culture and Technology happen every Saturday from September through May. Wee Discover is a special Early Childhood Development, pre-schoolers program every Wednesday morning at 10:30 am in the Curious Kids' Museum. Wee Discover features a Discovery pre-school story and hands-on science fun make-and-take to help kids ages 2-5 discover the world around them and develop a love of reading and creativity.

Classroom Science Units

Let us help you teach those more difficult Science Topics with our Hands-on Expertise and Equipment. Goals of this department of Curious Kids are:

• To increase hands-on Science Education in schools and community families utilizing Museum exhibits.
• To develop partnerships with schools to increase Curious Kids' service to area educators
• To assist teachers and be a resource in Science and Cultural Instruction with those hard-to-teach topics meeting classroom and state science objectives.

Curious Classroom Curriculum topics offered at The Museum or at The Discovery Zone on at your location on the road: "How Electricity is Made & Electrical Safety"; Sound; Light; Earth Sciences-Water; Outer Space-Earth in Space and Time; Simple Machines. All taught in classroom styles with equipment not usually found in classrooms. We make these topics fun and memorable.
