Presentations For Kids

FPAN staff is available to visit your classroom, camp, or club to provide hands-on archaeology education activities! If interested, select from the presentation list below and fill out our “Request a Speaker” program request form at the top of the page. Programs are free for public schools, public libraries, local museums, and non-profit organizations.

Calendars fill up fast, so please schedule as soon as possible in advance! All programs are dependent on speaker availability.

We’re taking this opportunity to revamp and rethink our programming. The goal is to provide presentation topics that are more meaningful, relevant, and inclusive. Please excuse the dust as we throw out the old and bring in some new – reconstruction will take a bit of time. If you have an idea for a topic or know what you’re looking for, please feel free to request a speaker by clicking on the button above and submitting a form. Thank you for your patience.

Students learn about the advent of pottery in Florida, and do hands-on experimentation using play-doh to explore pottery-making and -decorating technology.

Investigating a Tabby Slave Cabin

Recent excavations at Kingsley Plantation have radically changed our understanding of what life was like for the enslaved people living there.
