Join us at Harvard’s Peabody Museum for an exciting journey into the world of ancient Maya civilization!

This engaging workshop invites teens, ages 13–18, to uncover the mysteries of Maya hieroglyphs, one of history's most beautiful and complex writing systems.

Participants will delve into the remarkable achievements of the Maya people, including their advances in architecture, mathematics, and astronomy.

Through interactive and hands-on activities, teens will practice writing simple sentences in Maya glyphs and learn how to interpret names and places as the ancient Maya did.

$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums following the workshop.

Teens receive a membership worth $100 after attending three or more Teen Saturday Workshops per semester.

Or, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions.
