Manhattan Project National Historical Park offers a variety of resources for teachers like you. Schools in and near one of our three communities and across the country can engage with our park to enrich educational experiences for their students.

Resources like curriculum materials and hands-on activities can be downloaded and used in the classroom. Teachers can bring their class to visit us at a variety of locations in Hanford (Tri-Cities), Washington; Los Alamos, New Mexico; and Oak Ridge, Tennessee for class trips. We are a community-based park and conduct field trips at a variety of locations in our communities that connect to the history of the Manhattan Project.

Can’t come to us? We can come to you in-person or virtually as available. Explore the options below to see what best fits your needs.
