Technology Requirements

We will connect with you and your students via the Museum’s professional Zoom account. Make sure to download the Zoom meeting client - which can be found at https://zoom.us/download - before the Digital Demo.  If your school needs to connect with a platform other than Zoom, let us know. Also, don’t forget to make sure all of your devices are charged/plugged in!

From Home

  • Our program will connect to most internet supported hardware such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices that have Zoom installed. 

From the Classroom

  • Teachers should also be prepared to project the image on a larger screen or smart board and connect the computer audio into speakers for their classes.
