For Teachers
**Free for all schools**
We invite you to join us for a dynamic interactive learning experience. Have Planetarium Coordinator Asis Gonzalez come right to your screen to deliver live-streamed education on a variety of STEM-related topics.
We offer the newest technology in interactive software to take your class to the furthest corners of our universe (on Zoom or Google Meet, etc) – from deep space to the bottom of the ocean floor – there is no limit to where you can travel on a Santa Fe Children’s Museum’s Virtual STEM Ready! Science Adventures!
Every show meets the following state standards per grade level:
Culturally and Linguistically Responsive
STEM Ready!
Common core standards
**Each Virtual STEM Ready! Science Adventure features an interactive lecture (30 – 60 minutes, depending on grade level) & a live Q & A session with our museum STEM educator/expert.**
A shorter program can be adapted for younger learners and topics can be adapted to your class.
In-person visits can be scheduled in Northern NM (especially for rural and Tribal schools) with a minimum of three classes scheduled on the same day, and a dark room to set up a projector and meet the class.
