Internet Presence
Both the NAG and SSAS website's will provide a special section containing all of the detailed instructions and pre-printed forms needed to run the Arky for Kidz Program once it has been released to the public. The details for the materials needed and construction techniques used to paint the site's layout onto the tarps would also be included. The information will be available as HTML pages or for download in PDF format free of charge.
An Arky Site Instructor Manual and Power Point Presentation designed and written to help the instructors and staff successfully conduct the program will also be available for download from either website. To aid in the learning process, the Power Point presentation will show the instructors the step-by-step procedures of the entire program laid out from start to finish as a staged classroom event.
Working Together
The Nautical Archaeology Group and the South Suburban Archaeological Society are co-sponsors of this program. Team members from each organization will continue to develop and refine the Arky for Kidz Program as it grows and expands.
Both groups share a common goal together to foster the growth of knowledge for the children that will one day take our place in the archaeological community.
