Homeschool Workshop

Our Daily Commute

In connection with the Smithsonian Institute’s celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary, let’s take a deep dive into the workers who have made history in creating and serving our railroad passenger service.

Investigate STEAM-powered fun at our Homeschool Workshop! Discover new train-themed concepts and apply them to your own invention, art project, machine or game. Workshops are multidisciplinary and include hands-on projects, guided activities, tours and demonstrations.

The drop-in program goes from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Every student is given a personalized introduction and detailed instructions before embarking on open-ended activities. A guided presentation or tour every half hour delves deeper into the topic of each workshop.

Recommended for elementary students ages 5 to 12 and their caregivers. It is included in Museum admission and free for Museum members. Registration is not required.
