Summer Arts Integration Workshops

The summer Arts Integration Workshops for K-8 teachers will be on June 20, 21, and 22, 2023. All six workshops will be in-person at Pullen Arts Center, NC Museum of Science, and the NC Museum of History.

These hands-on workshops are led by teaching artists and are designed to integrate arts and non-arts curriculum standards. You may choose to take just one workshop or as many as your schedule allows. Detailed descriptions are below. If you register for both workshops in a single day, lunch will be provided at no extra cost.

Registration is now closed. Questions: Contact Ragen Carlile at [email protected]

Day 1: Tuesday, June 20 at Pullen Arts Center Day 2: Wednesday, June 21 at NC Museum of Natural Sciences
Science Detectives: Using Poetry to Solve the Mysteries of Science Location: North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Time: 1:15 – 3:45 pm Teaching Artist: Mimi Herman Whodunnit? And how was it done? In this choose-your-own adventure workshop, you'll investigate the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to discover a mystery you want to solve, then look for clues to figure out what is happening and figure how the clues fit together. From clues to conclusions, you'll use imagery and figurative language to solve your favorite science mystery, then plan for ways you can turn your entire classroom into a school for science detectives

Day 3: Thursday, June 22 at NC Museum of History
Logos United Arts, NC Arts Council, Wake County, NC Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh Arts, and NC Museum of History
