Kid Curators Overview
School museum projects motivate students
to learn academic content and
develop valuable skills.
What is a Kid Curators School
Museum Project?
Kid Curators® museums are 3-dimensional
school exhibitions created by students as part of the
classroom curriculum. Students conduct research about
the museum topic, design displays to show what they’ve
learned, and interpret those displays for visiting audiences.
Students of all ages—kindergarten through high
school—can create a school museum.
Why Initiate a Kid Curators
School Museum Project?
Kid-created school museums are a great
way to get students involved in and excited about learning.
Almost any curriculum unit can be transformed into an interesting
museum design project. As students develop their school
museum, they not only learn a great deal of academic content,
they also learn how to conduct research, write for a unique
audience, and communicate with a visiting public. As students
create their original displays, they learn and practice
the important skills of teamwork, creative and critical
thinking, and problem solving. |
