Join Eden Cho of the National Museum of American History to explore how you can incorporate museum objects and art skills to engage your students civically! She’ll share techniques honed from the museum’s annual National Youth Summit, a program that brings together secondary students to participate in a national conversation about important events in America’s past that have relevance to the nation’s present and future. You’ll leave with resources and strategies to incorporate museum objects in your classroom, create zines, and encourage your students to engage in civic action.
