Educators
To the topWe explore the role of the game in society and help students and teachers to use the game to learn classroom subjects. The journey begins with school groups on field trips to the Museum, and expands by connecting to hundreds of classrooms outside the region over the Internet. We also host lesson plans and other classroom materials for teachers on our website.

Transportation Grant
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum has received a legacy grant to support educational outreach to Central New York students. This grant will service under-resourced youth in our backyard, who otherwise may be unable to visit Cooperstown and access the Museum’s education programs.
If your school is interested in applying for a grant to help offset costs for a field trip to the Museum, please review the guidelines and complete the online application. Grants will be awarded on a case-by-case basis.
