How has STEM education changed over the past few centuries? Explore little-known lessons from school days gone by as we open our vaults in celebration of American Archives Month.
Browse an assortment of stereographs, the PowerPoint slides of 19th-century classrooms. Step back in time to a 1950s science fair, where elementary-school kids reported on hot topics like “Commercial Applications of Atomic Energy” and “Amino Acid Development in Radishes.” Chat with our archivists and librarians, enjoy light refreshments, and—if you’re up for the challenge—test your skills in our archives-themed Escape the Room game.
