STUDENT WORKSHOPS
History Colorado Ute Kit
Parker Arts has partnered with History Colorado to offer educators a Ute Knowledge Education Kit which combines STEM curriculum with the Colorado Department of Education’s Nuu-ciu Strong Curriculum as a resource for local educators. The Ute Knowledge Education Kit provides a connection between Ute Traditional Knowledge and today’s STEM. The kit includes a large map of Colorado, featuring natural features and Ute homelands, as well as activities on shelter engineering, plant science, math for beadwork and travel, technology for basketry and clothing. There is a matching activity for each that includes photos, clues and objects as well as a challenge activity that allows learners to further explore each topic. This program is a perfect bridge between history, math, and science. Written materials in the kit are in English and Spanish, and link to additional online videos and resources.
Ute Kit Rental
Teachers may rent the Ute Kit for one day for $30 or one week for $50. The Ute Kit includes lessons for a one-hour intensive lesson as well as a five day, 45-miniute exploration series of lessons. The Ute Kit comes with both a virtual and hard copy of the Educator’s Manual and CDE’s Nuu-ciu Strong Curriculum. Along with the virtual teacher training, teachers will also have access to a selection of curated videos for use in the classroom. Each video pairs to the activities found within the kits and ties them to contemporary Ute voices. These are optional additions for use when time and presentation location allow.
