Public Virtual Learning Archive

We're working hard to provide our community with educational classes, curricula, and materials online (and for download) while the museum is closed. In partnership with Kingdom Access Television, we'll be providing innovative science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programming that reaches even those with limited Internet acess.

Archive of Public Classes

Below please find an archive of past Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium classes that are meant for the wider public including students and adults. (Find all our classes on YouTube.) For the duration of the COVID-19 crisis, we will provide classes FREE.
