EduHam at Home: Free History Resources

[jesse_the_k]

Lin-Manuel partnered with the Gilder-Lehrman Educational Foundation to create an "Eduham at Home" program.

Through EduHam, students study primary source documents from the Founding Era, learn how Lin-Manuel Miranda used such documents to create the musical Hamilton, and finally create their own original performance pieces based on the same material.

EduHam at Home provides a family version of EduHam that can be accomplished outside of a school setting. It will continue to be available through August 2020.

A wealth of free materials for participants and their families to explore and enjoy, including

• Videos clips from Hamilton and interviews with Lin-Manuel Miranda, selected cast members, and Ron Chernow, whose biography of Alexander Hamilton inspired the musical

• A wide selection of primary sources centered on a diverse group of 45 People, 14 Events, and 24 Key Documents

• EduHam at Home participants will be invited to submit their own Hamilton-inspired pieces (songs, raps, spoken-word poems, or scenes), and selected student performances will be shared on social media and this website.
