Program description
Bring the museum to your community group or library via a Zoom Webinar during school holidays. Your group can join as individuals (up to 50 participants on their own devices) or as a group in your venue with a large screen. In Zoom Webinar museum staff cannot see or hear participants, and participants can interact with museum staff via chat. Question and answer time is included at the end of each session via chat.
Please note: Up to 10 different groups can book into this event.
What is a bug?
Did you know that the museum has a huge collection of bugs? In this session children will be introduced to the job of an entomologist and learn how to identify different groups of bugs by looking for similarities. With song, stories, and games we explore the amazing things bugs can do and the important role they play in the environment.
What do you need to participate?
Our virtual learning programs at Museum Victoria are run via Zoom. It’s free and easy to use.
Group setting
If you plan to have participants joining in a group setting, ideally you will need to have access to a large TV, smart TV, or data projector that can be connected to a device with the internet so that you can join via Zoom. A laptop or iPad screen will be too small to view the presentation as a group. We will send a link to the person making the booking which you simply click to then join the session.
Individual setting
We will send out a link to join the program to the person making the booking which they can then onto the participants. Children and families can join from home on any computer or device with internet access.
Exclusive sessions
If you would like to book an exclusive session on a date, time and subject by negotiation please visit our Holiday science online: exclusive sessions page. Exclusive sessions run via Zoom with participants able to have their microphones and cameras on to participate.
