  The education department at the Nature Museum logged in just over 67,500 contact hours last year. Here is a breakdown of some of those hours:

  

  Sharing our knowledge about science at 137 Science on the Go! classrooms.....

  

  Conducting 627 student workshops for visiting school groups right here in the Nature Museum science labs.....

  

  Visiting over 100 schools with in class workshops to 124 classrooms.....

  

  Leading camps both on site and off that included over 375 children in the Chicago area.....

  

  Supporting teachers while conducting 19 teacher professional development workshops that featured activities and strategies for hands on, inquiry based learning.....

  

  And having fun the whole time we are doing it!

  We are lucky to have this opportunity and are working very hard to make this year memorable for another 67,500+ students, teachers, parents, and others. Thanks for stopping by and letting us visit you at school!
