STEM Week

STEM week takes place during the summer. The dates are determined before the event and posted on our Facebook page at University of Louisiana Monroe Museum of Natural History. 4th and 5th graders will participate in activities, experiments, and crafts pertaining to science.

Archeology Week

During Archeology Month (October) we have Archeology Week! This event is hosted by ULM’s station archeologist at the Poverty Point World Heritage site who designs a program on archeological activities in our region. This event occurs after our business hours and admission is completely free and open to all age groups!

Guest Speakers

Our museum occasionally hosts guest speakers throughout the year geared toward middle school age groups. The information is focused on local natural history. Our guest speakers will be announced on our Facebook page.

Other Services

Our museum provides several other services in addition to the tours and events that take place throughout the year. When booking a tour, call ahead and ask our student workers to have our Augmented Reality Sandbox (AR Sandbox) prepared for an engaging learning experience! In the same room as the AR Sandbox is our Lego room! Call ahead and ask to have the room opened so that your group can have a moment to absorb all the new history you just learned and build something new along the way. For teachers, we provide “Discovery Boxes”, which are kits that include everything you need for a fun, hands-on science lesson with your students! We also provide training sessions for teachers to learn how to use the boxes. They are free to use, just call or email us for availability!
