Mill City Museum is a part of the Minnesota Historical Society, housed in the ruins of the Washburn A Mill along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The museum provides exhibits and hands-on opportunities to discover the history of the mill, the milling industry, and its impact on the local area. In partnership with the National Park Service, Mill City Museum provides free 30-minute virtual in-school programming for elementary classes.
Mill City Museum and Wilder Research collaborated to facilitate focus groups with local elementary school educators to learn about their experiences with virtual in-school programs, what motivates them to consider and schedule a program, and what barriers prevent or deter them from pursuing these types of programming options. This report presents the results of the focus groups.
