History in Hand programs provide a unique blend of education, activity and enjoyment for young people.
Our focus is on learning and providing an inspiring, absorbing and motivational hands-on experience for students. Behind our programs we place our emphasis on quality. Using our extensive and proven network of suppliers we deliver quality in our artifacts. Working with experts in the development of youth programs and trained archaeologists we deliver quality in our supporting materials. The benefits for young learners can last a lifetime.
for Institutions and Educators
History in Hand programs help to motivate young people in the study of history and archaeology. Institutions can run them as an adjunct to an existing exhibit or as part of their regular rotation of youth programs. One of our programs can help to put an accessable face on an institution for young people in the community and build awareness of all that museums have to offer.
Educators in classrooms or instructors at summer camps or in after school youth programs can run our programs without the need to have a background in history or archaeology. Everything is provided to ensure a quality experience for enthusiastic young minds. Bringing history out from the textbooks and into the hands of students can motivate students and improve their study habits.
Building on our base package, individual programs can be run over and over again, reusing the special artifacts each time. As instructors become more familiar with the material they can begin to improvise and enhance our programs to suit their needs.
for Parents
Parents have no need to be told the benefits of involving their children in programs which are both educational and entertaining. History in Hand programs can inspire young people to enjoy history as no classroom experience or show-and-tell lecture by an expert ever could.
Our programs can even be run as part of a special family event - for a child's birthday party or as an activity for the young attendees at a family reunion.
for Students
For young people, a first hand experience of archaeology, history and antiquities such as our programs provide can have an impact that lasts for the rest of their lives.
A hands on approach is a proven way to engage young people with a program of study. With our programs, classes in history can now employ the technique which has proven so effective in other disciplines.
