The Museum – Brought to Your Classroom
We understand it isn’t always possible to bring every student or school group to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. That’s why we’ve made it possible for a piece of the Museum – and a surprisingly immersive experience – to come to your school classroom.
Called2Change Augmented Reality
This cutting-edge program uses augmented reality on your campus to allow your students to experience the Museum. Using tablets, students interact with 3D buildings, videos, overlays and more, immersing them in the experience and bringing real-world environments about the story into their classroom. Through this hands-on experience, they will be Called2Change – their life, their school and their world – for the better. This gives students a deeper connection to the story before the next step – a journey through the Museum.

Hope Trunk
The Hope Trunk: An Offering of Positive Education is a program using the story of the bombing to educate students about the senselessness of violence and the need to find more peaceful means to solve our differences. The Trunk, which a school may use for two weeks, contains artifacts, visual materials, and classroom exercises that may be used as a stand-alone unit or incorporated into regular math, geography and reading/literature lessons. Shipping is provided courtesy of FedEx.

A New Generation of Peace
“A New Generation of Peace.” That is the theme students from Salem County Career & Technical High School in Woodstown, NJ, chose to focus on as they honored and remembered those who were killed in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Since most of the students at Salem County Career & Technical High School were either too young or not born yet when the incident occurred, many were not familiar with the tragedy. Students were introduced to the story and learned about the event through artifacts and materials included in the Hope Trunk sent to their school.
Students created a showcase displaying some of the materials included in the Hope Trunk and developed posters to show that violence is not the answer. Students also made their own version of the Oklahoma City National Memorial Fence and placed mementos on it.
