Coming September, Children’s Museum Houston (CMH) will launch “All-Time Access,” an online initiative to enhance distance learning and open the Museum to families all over the world from an all-time digital landscape. Now that kids are back in school, the Museum will take a break beginning Aug. 31 to focus on “All-Time Access” and meet children and their families where they are —at school, at home, at play. But do not worry! CMH will reopen just as soon as we can come together again. The Museum had intended to remain open the entire week, but due to Hurricane Laura, CMH will close Aug. 26 and 27 with plans to reopen Aug. 28 to 30.
“All-Time Access” takes connectivity to the next level by making content and resources available wherever children learn —at school, at home, at play. Taking all the defining elements of Children’s Museum Houston, kids will engage in seriously fun projects, discover a love of exploration, launch a passion for pursuing their own interests and connect in ways that apply and expand to what they are learning at school this fall. Lead by the Muse- um’s educators and delivered through a variety of technology platforms, “All- Time Access” will allow opportunities to submit video questions, showcase outcomes, observe and absorb through apps, chat live with experts and share tons of “wait for it” moments on your phone, computer or tablet, including:
· Choose Your Own Path 3-D Museum Field Trips with educators. · MyPROJECTS Live Online Courses guided by educators so you can explore more TinkerCAD 3-D designs, chemistry, art, citizen science and more!
· An enhanced “More CMH” Museum App that delivers on educational experiences and builds on an online community allowing you to friend others.
· Chats with experts during the GEEK Hour Live.
· An all-new Mr. O Series on Invention.
· Thematic virtual learning Daily Broadcast on our social media channels. · Pop-Up Multi-Day Virtual Epic Adventure Camps accompanied by a kit of materials available for purchase.
· Live performances. · Downloadable activities to support learning at home. · Online shopping for products that enhance at-home learning at Fiddle Sticks Toys online.
Connect with us now on our social media channels, website, and e-mail updates as we roll out our new plans to bring the Museum to you and extend learning at school, at home, at play.
