Teachers, join the Smithsonian Summer Sessions for a school year virtual pop-up. How can museums help you highlight untold stories of African American women throughout history? You’ll look closely at a set of primary source objects from six museum collections and the Smithsonian Learning Lab, explore connections among them, and discuss ways to engage students in deeper thinking. Preview a set of three free online courses created by museum educators to extend your learning.

Hosted by the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, National Museum of African American History and Culture, National Museum of American History, National Portrait Gallery, National Postal Museum, Office of Educational Technology, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Smithsonian Enterprises.
