Step into a hands-on STEM adventure where wildlife becomes the classroom! We partner with parents and educators to deliver curriculums that reinforce academic learning while introducing exciting STEM concepts through the lens of wildlife. Students explore biology, ecology, environmental engineering, zoology and conservation; use microscopes and scientific tools; study habitat design; and apply real-world math through diets, measurements, and data collection. By blending STEM principles with animal encounters, we make learning engaging, accessible, and unforgettable. During this experience, students explore topics featuring modern-day dinosaurs, marsupials, arthropods, and reptiles from around the world.
Students will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about marsupials, reptiles, and other unique species
