His vision of an institute as a new model for civic education celebrating public service is now a reality and especially important as we face the current political environment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to interactive exhibits, students who come to the Institute experience being senators for a day \u2013 learning, debating, and finding common ground with other student senators. Together they create and vote on legislation in our full-scale replica of the United States Senate Chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Since opening in 2015, over 50,000 students from more than 400 schools have visited the Institute. Our educational staff collaborates with teachers to design programs to shape a new future for civic education. It is our hope to encourage all students to believe in the future and empower them to make change happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2808\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/214.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/214.jpg 800w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/214-300x199.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/214-390x261.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This year, we offered free admission to Massachusetts school groups and discounted rates to out-of-state groups, subsidized travel costs for schools with tight budgets, and scholarships to sponsor a student.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emkinstitute.us9.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=260c53973bb6e6b8d745c1b8c&amp;id=53850ffe7c&amp;e=b663a50f85\" target=\"_blank\">Please help more students experience active learning in civic education by making a gift of <em><strong>$50 to support our programs<\/strong><\/em><em>,\u00a0<\/em>or<em>\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>$110 to sponsor a student<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Your generosity will help inspire our visitors and students to influence change in their communities.
