Through interactive videoconferencing, teachers and students can share the resources of Cincinnati Museum Center and the historic Union Terminal without ever leaving the classroom. Multidisciplinary social studies and science programs are aligned to meet state and national content standards and are designed to fit into any curriculum. All programs are delivered live by Museum educators. We can discuss how our programs may fit into your existing curriculum and address the needs of you and your students.
Distance Learning Program Availability Programs are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Evening and weekend programs are possible dependent upon staff availability. Most lessons last from 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of your class periods. Please register at least four weeks in advance to increase the likelihood of securing your date and time of choice.
