Classroom Programs

Bring history to life without leaving your classroom through the engaging outreach programs offered by the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver. Designed to inspire curiosity and active participation, these educator led sessions connect students with meaningful stories from the past while aligning with academic standards. From exploring how cities develop using creative building activities to understanding the impact of mining on regional growth, each program blends storytelling with hands on learning. Students can step into the world shaped by figures like Margaret Brown, discovering how leadership, resilience, and civic engagement influence communities. Whether examining early Denver neighborhoods, engaging in interactive city building, or uncovering the experiences of those who shaped history, these sessions encourage students to think critically and creatively about the world around them.

The programs also expand into civics and science, offering students the opportunity to explore themes such as social change, voting rights, and the role of individuals in shaping society. Learners can dive into immersive activities connected to the Titanic sinking, where they analyze real world scenarios, compare perspectives, and understand the science behind historical events. Each session is carefully structured to balance education with engagement, allowing students to participate through games, discussions, and collaborative exercises. Delivered directly in the classroom by trained museum educators, these experiences remove logistical barriers while providing high quality educational content. Ideal for a range of age groups, the programs create a memorable learning environment that sparks imagination, builds knowledge, and connects history to present day understanding.
