Smithsonian Learning Labs - Heinz History Center First Meet-Up

Eager to get our hands on the resources of the Smithsonian, my fellow Cultural Literacy teacher McCall Goughenour and I arrived at the Heinz History Center bright and early.

"It's like getting a backstage pass" - Ms.G on the thrill of having the museum to ourselves in the still hours of the morning.

The Smithsonian is rolling out the Learning Lab in Pittsburgh--we are among the first cohort of high school teachers to work with the digitized collection. Many features of the collection include learning about history through interacting with objects.
