This week, the WWII Museum is focusing on STEM learning on their social media platforms and online learning resources.

Tune in this Thursday and Friday at 11am CT for short live webinars featuring clips from our Manhattan Project electronic field trip (specific clips used in webinar are appropriate for younger audiences - the full electronic field trip is appropriate for grades 6-12), followed by a live demo of related hands-on activities you or your students can follow along with at home.

Robotics teams, this is a great way to engage your team members in hands-on learning at home related to this competition theme!
