In-Person Youth Program, ages 13-18
Saturday, September 20, 1:00–3:30 pm
Stickball is often referred to as “the little brother of war,” and has been played by Native American tribes for centuries. This older cousin of lacrosse was a tool for avoiding warfare and is still played as a social game today.
Join stick maker James Walkingstick for an in-depth workshop on the game. Teens will analyze sticks made in 1908 and 2025 and learn how they are made, how they came to the museum, and how they are used today. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to play the game and cheer on their fellow players!
Teen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English and are designed to build community and enrich the museum experience for multicultural and Spanish-speaking teens.
The $10 fee includes free admission to all Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC) museums immediately following the workshop.
Teens receive an HMSC membership (worth $100) after attending three or more Teen Saturdays Workshops per semester. Or, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
