KID Museum’s signature approach to teacher professional development centers on hands-on learning experiences for educators with actionable strategies to bring maker learning into their classrooms. During the workshops, educators will develop maker-based skills while learning how to adapt those skills to their specific site and program needs.
KID Museum Professional Development workshops can take place at KID Museum or at the school site (depending on availability) and all materials are provided. Workshops can be delivered as separate two – three hour blocks or may be combined into a full day or multiple days of professional development.
