With summer camps going virtual and schools reopening in the fall uncertain, the need for high-quality and accessible distance learning is greater than ever. 

In response, the Internet2 Presidential Primary Sources Project is partnering with the U.S. National Archives and several presidential libraries to expand distance learning opportunities for students and teachers in the coming months.

Offering both teacher professional development sessions and a variety of programs for students in grades 2-12, the sessions will begin in July and continue through the end of October. All programs are free, interactive, and standards-based. 

Sign up for any or all of these upcoming distance learning programs that are available for students and families:
