The central aim of the Keweenaw Time Traveler has always been to start conversations about how the Copper Country's industrial past continues to affect our lives and identities today. This conversation is especially important for Copper Country youth who will navigate the both the opportunities and challenges created by our industrial past to shape their future. The Keweenaw Time Traveler Team continues to develop outreach and educational programs designed to help spark these conversations with community youth. Though we implement many of these programs ourselves they are really meant for everyone!
This page houses the outreach and education plans we develop. Plans include a suggested age level for the activity, Michigan Curriculum Standards met, Skills developed by the activity, and materials needed to complete the activity.
