Aim
The aim of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to:

- explore the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through the exhibitions.
Outline
The program has two main components:
-
Introduction – through object handling, students investigate several aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander technologies and cultures
-
Gallery visit – under the supervision of their teachers, students explore the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and record aspects of their technologies and experience.
As students only visit one exhibition during this program, you may like to allow time to visit other exhibitions and to explore other places in the Museum.
