Local Programs

In-Person and Virtual Classroom Visits

We visit classrooms and homeschool groups from preschool to high school with curriculum-aligned Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities. Normally, our volunteers come in for a class period to do a hands-on/minds-on activity with your students, and we would run larger events bringing students onto campus for a full-day event.
