We are currently coordinating an out-reach program for Winter 2025. Nearby libraries (Mountain View and Los Altos) are collaborating with Foothill students to spread the fun of Anthropology to children (3-5+). Contact people below if interested in helping or continuing this project in the future!
Project Guidelines
Anthropology Out-Reach Program 2024-25
By Sophia Holmes and Aidan Claeys
Los Altos Library (ages 3-5+)
Archaeology (Dig Kits)-
Kids will be outside digging for toys (safe plastic tools to uncover toys)
Cultural Aspect (artifact making)-
Kids will be making one of the following: bracelets/cordage/historical crafts (can have ranges from easy to difficult depending on age)
Physical Anthropology (skulls)-
Kids will look at different hominid skulls and draw what they imagine the person would look like.
Bonus fun idea: put on the flier that kids can come dressed up on theme (indiana jones style)
Note: each station will have at least 1 or 2 foothill college students supervising and demonstrating
