Bring AZMNH to YOU
Mobile Education Unit
Introducing our new school outreach program!
Let the AZMNH come to you! Starting in October of 2025 we will be launching new educational outreach programs for grades 1 through 12. Our unique lessons align with Arizona State Standards in science and/or history. Each lesson is designed to be 50 minutes long but can be adjusted. Bookings open in October, but you can reserve a spot today.
FREE - To celebrate the launch of the program, and due to generous grant funding, we will temporarily be offering this program at no cost. On average, this is a $300 value to schools taking advantage of this early introduction. This offer expires once the grant has been spent.
