Hands-On History
Hands-On History is a collection of engaging and exciting education programs. They provide participatory history and culture-based offerings for students from grades 1 to 8 (ages 6 to 14) when school classes aren’t in session. Offered at multiple locations across Colorado throughout the calendar year, each program’s curriculum focuses on hands-on, experiential-style explorations and offers interactive classes with themes and topics specifically tailored to each community.
Tuition assistance is available, and can cover up to 70% of enrollment cost.
