Her collections have been designed for teachers to use in classrooms, families in her community during the pandemic, and for the Museums Go Global Project. #goglobal

      Going for the Gold: The Olympics

The idea is for families to look at the items in the collection and consider what they see in the objects and paintings, what they think, and what they wonder. Families can also watch a free Brainpop video about the Olympics, the Special Olympics and athletes who competed. Families can also read articles about the Olympics, learn about the first Olympics, and explore the amazing athletes who have competed to be the best.
