STEM Days

Our STEM Days can bring an entire day of engaging, hands-on STEM learning directly to your school! Students rotate through interactive stations led by local and University of Wyoming STEM partners, featuring demonstrations and activities inspired by real-world STEM careers and research. Each grade-level group spends 20–40 minutes at each station, ensuring age-appropriate, dynamic learning experiences. Designed to fit your schedule, our program can work to create a flexible schedule that works with your recess, specials and lunch times. These events offer an exciting way to connect students with the possibilities of STEM. Check out the video and some sample schedules below, and reach out to schedule a FREE STEM Day today!
