ON-THE-GO EXPERIENCES
In-Person & Virtual
CMA now offers two options for receiving our innovative, hands-on programming: our educators can come to your classroom in-person or through highly interactive virtual presentations.
All programs are led by the Museum's professionally trained educators and are designed to support your curriculum and bring learning through play into your classroom in fun, hands-on, immersive ways.
