Description
The Skyscraper Museum hosts a rotating repertoire of Family Programs in which children engage with an educator to explore the principles of urbanism, architecture, and engineering through hands-on activities. We have resumed in-person programs, which are held outdoors and outside the Museum, weather permitting. Indoor programs and hands-on activities take place in the gallery with masks and social-distancing required. Some programs have a hybrid, online option. Please specify how you will attend.
Family Programs meet at The Skyscraper Museum at 39 Battery Place at 10:30 am and conclude by noon. The programs are free, but registration is required. Use the RSVP buttons to sign up and you’ll receive further instructions on links and preparing for activities.
Hard Hat Area: Introduction to Construction
How do skyscrapers get built? How do we know what pieces go where? Kids will learn about the construction process in a reading of Susan L. Roth’s Hard Hat Area. This story follows a girl, Kristen, as she discovers the tools, planning, and teamwork needed to build TALL! After the read-aloud, we’ll put our skills to the test and build our own skyscrapers! Teamwork, determination, and lots of tape will be key!
