Science Outside! gets kids and families excited about doing science, OUTSIDE!
Developed for 3rd-8th grade students in the Hill Country region of Texas, the Science Outside! program is focused on exposing kids to outdoor based STEM skills, tools and careers, within the realm of environmental science and ecology.
Science Outside! is a combination of community outreach, Saturday family engagement workshops and a 5-day summer camp designed to get kids interacting with their families outside in nature. Students learn through inquiry-based exploration at the Science Mill and at partner locations in our community. Partners like Bamberger Ranch Nature Preserve, Johnson Homestead National Park and Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, provide the enriching outdoor experiences that make the curriculum come to life. Students will interact with experts in their field and learn about what it takes to be successful in a STEM career in the great outdoors.
