Tulane University’s Middle American Research Institute (MARI), Stone Center for Latin American Studies (SCLAS), S.S.

Participants will learn unique ways to incorporate the Tunica, Maya and Aztec cultures into the classroom in a variety of subjects. Registration for each workshop is $5 and includes light snacks, teaching resources, and a certificate of completion.
The workshop series will prepare teachers:
- To utilize digital humanities resources in the classroom;
- To design culturally appropriate primary and secondary research projects;
- To teach about Pre-Columbian civilization, language, geography and foods;
- To encourage student self-determination through meaningful and relevant cultural projects.
