After a visit to the museum, the students joined a workshop about hieroglyphics through which they learned about the ancient Egyptian script, how it was decoded, its development through time, and what its letters represent. The students engaged in various activities, enjoyed writing their names in hieroglyphics, and went home with stories about ancient Egypt.
