Science Posse
Connecting Students and Scientists

Our goal is to Connect Your Students with Our Scientists 

Science Posse Fellows are pursuing advanced degrees in science, engineering and math and they share their enthusiasm and expertise with students and teachers in grades 5-12 throughout the state of Wyoming. During the 2011-2012 school year, the Fellows connected with over 3000 students, some of them multiple times, in 40 schools/programs in 16 of Wyoming's 23 counties. Students traveled to our labs on the campus of the University of Wyoming, or Fellows traveled to the students' classrooms in person or through the virtual Science Posse. (And it's free!)

The Posse's calendar for the 2011-2013 school year is full, and we are no longer accepting requests.  We will open requests for 2012-2013 on September 1, 2012. We hope to connect with you and your students then.
