  • Debating and voting in interactive programs.
  • Seeing history come to life in a historical program about The Civil Rights Act of 1964.
  • Learning the stories of twenty historic and contemporary trailblazers through artistic representations in the A Seat at the Table exhibit.
  • Enjoying hands-on activities like campaign button creations and contributing to a community-made art project.
  • Exploring with the new “Senator-in-training” activity guide books.
  • Visiting the Senate Staff Office exhibit and seeing a replica of Senator Kennedy’s Washington, D.C. office.
  • Posing for fun photos with family and friends with the Institute’s special photo booth.
