Event Registration

Description:

This is a virtual education program offered to school groups. It is taught by educators at the Mariner's Museum Museum in Newport News, VA. The event cost is per login, not per participant. Multiple children plus their parents can participate for a flat rate. This class will be taught live, online through a virtual classroom platform. Compass is registered as the school with the museum, and participants will receive reminders and login instructions from Compass, not from the museum.

Description from the Mariner's Museum website: What do emojis and hieroglyphics have in common? To find out, journey back in time with us as we explore the history and geography of Ancient Egypt. Students will examine unique artifacts to learn about Ancient Egyptian life, create a story using modern day hieroglyphics, and make their own pyramid using a $1 bill.

Note: Program content will be targeted to the 3rd-5th grade age range, but older and younger students will also enjoy the program and are welcome to attend. For families who track learning to state Standards of Learning, see the class description on the museum's webpage for standards covered.
