Old Salem Museum and Gardens has been at work on a number of educational resources, including the Exploratorium,(https://www.oldsalem.org/calendar-programs/exploratorium/) an online field trip series for schools that have had to cancel due to Coronavirus! The Wake Forest Historical Museum (https://wakeforestmuseum.org/)has produced virtual tours (https://wakeforestmuseum.org/2020/05/14/virtual-tours/)of Wake Forest's original campus, which include information about slave labor on that campus. The Office of Civic and Community Engagement (https://communityengagement.wfu.edu/)at Wake Forest has also curated a number of educational resources,(https://communityengagement.wfu.edu/virtual-engagement/virtual-ed-resources/) including Wake Reads, Kids Cooking, and Stem@Wake.
