As a user of the Smithsonian Learning Lab, you’re supported by a vast network of information, resources, and experts designed to bring the excitement of discovery and creativity to every lesson you teach. Each of the museums and research centers within the Smithsonian offer learning resources specific to their collections or missions.

The Smithsonian and USA Today have joined forces to produce a free, 40-page packet of activities, “Summer Road Trip.”  To read more about what is included, and to download the free PDF, visit this article by Darren Milligan for the Smithsonian Learning Lab.

The Smithsonian established the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access in 1976 to serve public education by bringing Smithsonian collections and expertise into the nation’s classrooms. For more than 40 years, it has published educational materials and provided one access point to Smithsonian educational resources.

The increased access provided by digital media technologies has made museum resources, such as cultural artifacts, historical documents, and scientific specimens, widely available.
