Online Resources – Log On to New Discovery

Of the many benefits to the local community, the Coastal Discovery Museum offers a variety of unique educational resources available online for teachers to use with their students.

Since 1985, the Coastal Discovery Museum has provided interactive education programs to regional schools and youth-related organizations. These programs are aligned to many of South Carolina’s Curriculum Standards and engage students in hands-on, experiential learning. Educational experiences are offered at our Honey Horn campus, at several off-site locations, in the classroom, and online. Coastal Discovery Museum programs are created and designed to give children the opportunity to make meaningful connections between the natural history and cultural heritage of the area, inspiring new generation to care for the Lowcountry.
