Thank You, Washburn Ichabod Football!
We were happy to host a group of athletes from the Washburn University Football team this Saturday, who led a seriously fun program for museum visitors! The Ichabods are coming off a winning season and are always looking for ways to get involved in the community.
This group of athletes was wonderful with kids! The played catch, ran through basic plays, and let kids tackle dummies. The education team offered information on center of mass and ball shape to add science to the play. An unseasonably warm day let the big and little players have fun in the 4.5 acre Certified Outdoor Exploration Classroom. The outdoor space was the perfect spot for a little football practice.
Early Childhood Educator Nancy and Education Intern Marisa got really into the program. Really. Into. It.
