Science Museum of Minnesota - At Your School

Engaging science experiences at your school

Residencies give your students the opportunity to dive deeper into SCIENCE. Residency programs are a great way to introduce new curriculum units or build school unity. Your students will solve fascinating challenges, use intriguing scientific equipment, and learn distinctive and interesting science concepts.

We'll come to your school for the length of time that best suits your needs and budget—from a day to a full week! All residencies kick off with a lively assembly (that can be adjusted for multi-grade audiences) and continue with in-depth classroom sessions. Register for your residency today, and we will work with you to develop a schedule that fits your student population.

To make your reservation, fill out the Request a Program Form. You may also email or call (651) 221-4748 or (800) 221-9444 ext. 4748.

Schedules and cost may vary due to number of contact hours. NOTE: The museum offers residency programming Tuesday - Friday during the school year.
