Education
The 250th anniversary of American independence provides an opportunity to educate, engage, and inspire Virginia students about American history, values, and beliefs. The VA250 Commission is working with the Virginia Department of Education to accomplish these goals:
- Make History Come Alive
- Spark a Civics Renaissance
- Celebrate Democracy
Through this partnership, VA250 will be able to provide educational resources such as curriculum development, academic opportunities, professional development opportunities, and enduring educational assets.
Mobile Museum Experience
A hands-on, interactive, and immersive “museum on wheels, the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience titled “Out of Many One” will be traveling throughout the state, prioritizing Virginia schools and educational institutions, bringing key stories of Virginia’s rich history to students.
