Smithsonian Resident Associates Program

KITE FESTIVAL

Founded by aviation pioneer Paul E. Garber (1899-1992), the festival, one of the kite world's premier events, is sponsored by The Smithsonian Associates and the National Air and Space Museum, and features kite fliers from across the U.S. and the world.

DISCOVERY THEATER

The Smithsonian's Discovery Theater, located in the S. Dillon Ripley Center on the National Mall, is dedicated to offering the best in live performing arts for young people.

VOICES OF DISCOVERY

This program enables Smithsonian scholars to travel to cities around the country to make presentations at a wide variety of local cultural, educational, and civic institutions on subjects relating to their research that are selected by the participating groups

SMITHSONIAN SCHOLARS IN THE SCHOOLS

Outstanding scholars from the Smithsonian research and curatorial staff visit schools to conduct presentations for school-age children across the nation. This gets the Institution's world-renowned scholars and researchers out of "the nation's attic" and into local communities.
