Programs

The New York State Museum will host our Anthropology and Archeology, Evolution and Ecology, and DH Cadwell teacher workshops on January 24, 2026. Our one-day event is formatted in a flipped-classroom style, where participants will watch recoded lectures related to this year’s themes. The first 15 participants who are fully registered for each workshop can participate in hands-on experiences related to the workshop's theme, led by Museum Scientists. 
Teachers will earn four hours of Continued Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) for the recorded lectures and four hours of CTLE credit for the hands-on elements. They will gain valuable insight into the forefront of scientific research, highlighting hidden stories from within the museum collections. These workshops are aligned with specific New York State Learning Standards. 

2026 Themes: 

• Anthropology and Archeology: Underwater Archeology and the Mystery of the World Trade Center Ship
• Evolution and Ecology: Understanding Aquatic Ecosystems
• DH Cadwell Earth and Space: Water’s Effects on the Landscape

Cost: $25 for in-person participants; lectures are free.
