The development of digital education materials on local immigration history for virtual field trips and museum programming.

The Providence Children’s Museum (PCM) —a leading provider of cultural and educational experiences for RI families since 1977—respectfully requests a grant of $191,500 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to galvanize the humanities community of our state in service for children under 10. We plan to enlist their support as we reinvent Coming to Rhode Island, a series of galleries that address the immigrant experience from colonial times to the seventies, by infusing digital storytelling and educational programming through a contemporary lens.
