About Programs

Programs are public interactions facilitated in-person by museum professionals. Here you’ll find all the materials you need to host many kinds of programs, including large lectures, small floor demonstrations, comedy and theater pieces, and quiz and game shows.

The programs created by the NISE Network were developed through a process of prototyping, audience evaluation research, educator peer reviews, and in-depth partnerships with scientists.
