Each spring, high school students from the Museum Ambassadors program facilitate a Family and Community Day for the public.

This year more than 800 visitors participated.

Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time for another Museum Ambassadors Community Day this Sunday!

Grades 5–8

Buildings are everywhere, from strong towering skyscrapers to precarious footbridges. But how do they work, and what keeps them standing? Students in this program will explore the structural properties and geometry of buildings through artwork from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection. They will be asked to get involved in discussion of the structures examined and will even have the exciting chance to engineer their own mini-structure with paper.
