EDUCATION PROGRAM
Beyond the Classroom Education​
​
The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame is a great opportunity for students of all ages to experience and explore some of Alberta’s incredible sport history and heroes. Students will have the chance to see how sports, sports equipment, and athletes have evolved throughout the years. In all the school programs we offer this year we hope to inspire learning beyond the classroom.
​
Students will be able to use the Hall as a new classroom through behind the scene tours, inquiry-based learning and hands-on activities.
​
Our staff are eager to share their knowledge and resources with you and your students to meet educational goals and establish community partnerships in learning. Let's build a stronger community now and in the future.

The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame invites teachers and students to book your Beyond the Classroom field trip with us today. Touring the Hall could be one of the greatest hands-on learning opportunities that you and your students can experience. Students can have a behind-the-scenes tour of the Hall, see how things are archived and stored, handle old artifacts, and try playing many of the sports they love. Sport heroes, legends, community builders, amazing athletes and people who have left an impact on sport around the world and in our province are all under one roof, right here in your own backyard.
