Howdy all you wonderful museum people!
 
This is your friendly museum volunteer and professional archaeologist from
Tempe, Arizona. I volunteer at a small community's local historical society
museum. The town where the museum is located has asked me and a friend to
put together a workshop for a group of local high-achieving high schoolers
on archaeology and history. The workshop can be at our museum or at the
community facililty, or perhaps a combination of both.
 
My dilemma is that I've never really dealt with high school students on any
level. I've done several presentations (hour long to 1/2 day long) for
younger kids and emotionally and behaviorally-challenged teenagers, but
never for high-achieving teenagers. So, I'm appealing to all of you
wonderful, knowledgeable folks for advice, suggestions, input on creative,
fun, challenging things to do with these kids. We would like to plan a one
day event, an ongoing event such as a once a week-several weeks in a row
event, or an all week long (5 day) event. This is a small community with
limited funds, but I'm not sure yet of our budgetary or other limitations.  
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, help, advice, and I apologize for my
lack of details. 
 
Cheers,
 
Gina
