An instructor leads a virtual workshopJoin the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation for live, interactive experiences where students can feel the excitement of a field trip without leaving home. Each session explores a different topic from early American history and connects it to the world around us.

These programs are designed for students, kindergarten to sixth grade, who are interested in exploring early American history through primary sources and reproduction artifacts while meeting and engaging with educators and content experts from the museums. Students will discover the past while honing their skills in critical thinking, communication and historical thinking.
