Outdoor Education in STEM is an activity focused, self-paced course designed to help educators use the skills that can be learned from outside, in nature and in the community and transferred to other STEM fields.
The course will provide teachers with an understanding of how to incorporate outdoor education topics into their existing STEM curriculum. The focus of this course is to provide resources and skills for incorporating outdoor education into your curriculum for students to make the connection between their community and their learning. The course will feature engaging activities on a limited budget, so as to be accessible for every classroom. Each activity uses an inquiry lens to allow students to focus on aspects of their community that are important to them and to build student agency and ownership around these topics.
