| Smithsonian
Week is an exciting annual program with a little bit of something
for everyone. The week-long celebration includes presentations
by three Smithsonian scholars, including workshops, lectures,
community events, and a variety of other activities. Throughout
the week, the Smithsonian Scholars also visit local elementary,
middle and high schools to share their areas of expertise through
classroom interaction, hands-on activities, and large group presentations.
This provides students the opportunity to learn about something
new or to tie a real-life topic into what they are learning from
textbooks, and at the same time, learn about their national museum,
the Smithsonian Institution.
