MACON, Ga. — The Museum of Arts and Sciences held its 4th Annual Homeschool Field Trip Day on Wednesday.
Children and families enjoyed interactive shows and learned about the balance of life on planet Earth.
From live animal experiences and planetarium shows to science programs on climate change and making art at the pollination station, there was something for everyone.
Lauren Dean is the museum's STEAM curator and says hitting the homeschool market has been hard.
"This event is designed for homeschool families who are part of maybe smaller co-ops or just individual families who want to have an opportunity to experience a field trip at the museum," Dean said,
Now, being able to provide these home-schooled students with an actual field trip makes the experience much better for children and their families.
"Home school field trip day is a choose your own adventure style experience," Dean said. "If you have young kids or old kids, you can kind of pick and choose which programs you would like to do. For example, the planetarium show there will be one designed for younger children and one for the older children. That way you can kind of pick and choose what works best for your family."
Didn't make it today? Homeschool Field Trip Days will be returning to the Museum of Arts and Sciences next school year.
The Museum of Arts and Sciences hosts these field trips twice in the fall and twice in the spring.
Keep an eye out on their Facebook Page and their website for any announcements regarding the next theme and date for Homeschool Field Trip Day.
