Classroom Videoconference with Smithsonian Museum Staff

If your school has videoconferencing capabilities the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum offers two interactive programs. To the Moon and Possibly to Mars, and Kites, Wings and Flying Things bring museum staff and docents, along with artifacts from the Smithsonian collection into the classroom by videoconference. Students interact with the presenters and learn by inquiry. Teachers must participate in a 30 minute pre-lesson video conference and you have to make your reservation at least one month in advance. You can learn more about the programs here.
