Science of Art programming is offered to dedicated schools that are willing to make an impact in their students’ learning. Teachers must make a commitment to schedule a classroom lesson facilitated by one of our Museum of Glass Art Educators prior to the Museum visit. Following the Museum visit, teachers are expected to complete program evaluations. Programming is available six weeks from January to March with a different topic offered each academic year. (See the dates for each Unit.)
