Student Demographics & Background Information
Sampling
This program would be appropriate for children ages 10 to 12, or roughly 4th to 6th grade. Children for this program would be recruited from local elementary/middle schools through advertisement at the school, through teachers and parents, in the community, and at the museum itself. It would be ideal to host this day program right as the schools let out for summer break so students can attend during the day and parents can be notified by teachers. In this case, those who attend would be coming from different classes and schools, hopefully providing opportunities to interact with new friends. However, the program could be adapted to a during-the-year design for whole classes to attend.If at all possible, this program would be offered at minimum to no cost and/or the museum could provide grants for students to attend.
