Albright-Knox

Great art is transformational. The Albright-Knox invites teachers and students to join us for virtual experiences designed to support the development of the critical and creative thinkers of tomorrow. Opportunities include live virtual guided tours, plus pre-recorded videos that will serve as a teaching resource to focus on critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. Students will discover works of art from the Albright-Knox’s collection and exhibitions though through a range of learning strategies, including open-ended and guided questions, conversation, and activities.

Explore & More - The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children's Museum

Children of all ages learn through exploration and grow through creativity. In this spirit, we invite young learners—the innovators of tomorrow—to “Explore, and More!” Explore & More has created seven 15-minute videos that can be used all together or individually by teachers. Each video includes a tour of one of our Educational Play Zones; a related activity and/or experiment that can easily be replicated by parents at home or teachers in school; and a highlight of a STEM career.

Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center

The authentic stories shared at the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center highlight the extraordinary results that are achieved when ordinary people stand against oppression. On a live virtual field trip, museum educators will connect with classrooms remotely in real time. During a facilitated, interactive program, students will learn the history of the Underground Railroad in Niagara Falls while engaging in dialogue that will help them recognize the modern injustices that stem from slavery and think critically about what steps they can take to create a more equitable, just, and free society.
