Welcome to the
The electronic tour is the creation of seventh- and eighth-grade students from Washington Middle School in Olympia, Washington, under the direction of the Capitol Visitor Services program at the Department of General Administration. It was created during the 2000-2001 school year as a community service project for the school’s Generation www.Y program. The program, funded by a U.S. Department of Education Technology Innovation Challenge Grant, teaches students computer skills, which they use to assist teachers to develop and present curriculum. The Olympia School District was the first in the country to receive the grant. The program partners students and teachers to help integrate technology into learning.
Created by students for students, the tour is an excellent teaching tool for visitors of all ages. Thank you for coming. Enjoy the tour.
