Online Learning programmes:

Similar to our onsite programmes, we have selected several of our learning programmes that can be delivered online. Our online sessions are presented live with one or two of our learning specialists. They can include break out rooms

Kete Wānanga:

This very special Museum in a Box kit provides teachers and students with access to objects and resources in your own classrooms. Accompanied by curiosity cards these boxes can be an excellent addition to your learning programmes.
