Our museum switched to outreach programming "off-site" after our building was damaged by Hurricane Katrina.  For the last 3 years with no museum, we continued with our existing traveling trunk program and adapted our on-site programs for classrooms.  We developed programs with touch objects and PowerPoint presentations, activities, and evaluations for each.  Our museum is a state museum, and we were always free of charge which continues. We had a publication that we sent out each year to all the social studies teachers in the state that outlined all of our museum programing which we adapted to an outreach program publication. We booked our programs and traveled to classrooms and even adult groups across the state.

We're exploring offering programs through our Education Department in schools in the surrounding area and was curious if anyone else has been a part of a program launch like this. What were some of your challenges? Do you charge for the programs? How much? How did you initially market your programs? Any information will be helpful. Thanks very much in advance,
