Virtual School and Community Programs
The SDCHM is excited to offer virtual, educator-led programs for school groups from grades K-12, as well as college and community groups. Our Classroom Exhibit Presentations (CEP's) engage learners through presentations, guided discussions, and interactive activities. We offer CEP's on five different topics, including:
- The Rise and Fall of the First Chinese Emperor
- Pre-20th Century Chinese contributions to science and technology
- The art of Chinese Calligraphy
- Traditions of the Chinese Lunar New Year
- Early San Diego Chinese American History
For more information about CEP's, please review our factsheet.
