The museum continues to offer continuing programs popular with schools and community groups, and develops new programs and experiences. At the beginning of the semester, students from a graduate class in Digital Media spent six sessions exploring hand papermaking. They will apply their new skills by creating a project blending handmade paper and digital media. 
The museum also participated in the Atlanta Science Festival Expo on Saturday, March 29. This inaugural event was sponsored by Georgia Tech and Emory University, and featured 150 organizations leading hands-on science activities. During the course of the day, participants made hundreds of sheets of paper.
