Education
Engage your students with an unforgettable, larger than life learning experience! IMAX movies are designed to educate and enlighten as much as they are to entertain. They present new, relevant knowledge in a powerful, popular medium and inspire thoughtful, lively classroom discussion.
IMAX field trips are fun, economical, and easily arranged. They are a great way to extend the learning experience outside of the classroom. Please contact your local IMAX theatre for information about special group programs.
To assist you in leveraging IMAX films as a complement to your lesson plans, you may download a variety of engaging, dynamic activities inspired by the films. These activities are a great way to enrich your students’ learning through conducting research, persuasive writing, critical-thinking, and scientific investigation. Curriculum tie-ins include science, language arts, social studies, technology, math, problem-solving, visualization, and more!
