In collaboration with Museum staff, students from neighboring high schools volunteer to develop play-based science programs for our visitors. These "Green Teens" are trained by our STEM Initiatives Program Director to share the importance of the natural world and promote environmental advocacy through interactive education programs we call "STEM Explorers." Explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through fun, exploratory projects.
See our calendar for upcoming events. Below is an archive of some past projects for more STEM inspiration:
Topics
The Importance of STEM
- Being introduced to STEM at a young age is important for both boys and girls. Learn more about the obstacles and what is being done to increase programming for young children.
- The Maker Movement combines hands-on fabrication, STEM and the humanities, which fosters a growing sense of curiosity among Makers. Many schools are building Maker Spaces and Fab Labs to give students a more comprehensive set of analytical skills.
- Is a scientist just someone who works in a lab all day long? Watch how neuroscientist Beau Lotto challenged the idea of who can meaningfully participate in science in his Ted Talk "Science is for Everyone."
