For Families and Young People

Throughout the school year the Museum Education Deparment offers interesting hands-on workshops and drop-in activities for middle and high school students and their families.

Every year during the MA school vacation week (just after Preseident's Day) the Museum celebrates National Engineering Month by organizing engineering specific workshops usually with MIT grad students leading the way.

Children of all ages are welcome to attend the MIT Museum family events, but most activities are targeted for middle-schoolers and up.

Summer 2008 Demonstrations and Activities

Demonstrations and activities are offered in a number of areas of the MIT Museum on a rotating basis. Feel the breeze of a (very small) tornado, figure out how DNA works with our lego models, discover the XO "$100" Laptop, and try your hand at programming a robot. Activity offerings and schedule changes daily, ask at the Admissions Desk for the day's schedule. Demonstrations and activities offered daily Monday-Saturday.
