Our Favorites:
Scavenger Hunt: students will solve riddles during a self-guided quest for more knowledge about the current Museum exhibits: Return to the Land of My Ancestors (NC History) and The Mummy Treasure of Al Faiyum (Ancient Egypt). Great for 4th grade and up (and for adults!)

Engineering & Robotics: students learn about basic engineering concepts and programming, then use their knowledge to build a structure or create or program a simple robot. 3rd grade and up.

Return to the Land of My Ancestors Rotation: students get an in-depth look at the Museum's current exhibit, Return to the Land of My Ancestors, by exploring each section, including hearth cooking, colonial clothing, fishing, archaeology, and historic children's games. Great for all ages.
