STEAM in the PARK
|
STEAM in the PARK is a 5-day, 4-night immersive experience designed for educators who are passionate about nature and education.
Held in breathtaking national park locations, this program offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, rekindle your fire for teaching, and gather invaluable resources to bring back to your students, schools, and communities. It's a time to live, learn, and grow among educators who share your love for the outdoors and a desire to make a lasting impact. Visit our site dedicated to STEAM in the PARK |

National Parks Expedition Challenge
|
At Expeditions in Education, we know that students around the world have the ability to solve problems. We aspire to give them opportunities to do that every single day.
We travel around the country, filming in National Parks in order to bring real-world experiences to students, families, and teachers. We research the challenges that National Parks face and then write STEM content that teachers and parents can introduce to their students and children. Each experience includes a look at the park, its history, its place in the world, and the impact it has on those around it. Visit our National Parks Expedition Challenges page. |
Crossing America
|
Our Crossing America mission is to bring the wonders of National Parks to students everywhere, allowing them to virtually explore these incredible landscapes, contribute to the parks' efforts to meet the UN Global Goals, and connect with peers from all over the nation.
Each month, we’ll offer LIVE virtual events that showcase different National Parks, providing an up-close look at what makes each one unique. And if you can’t attend live, we’ve got you covered—recorded sessions will be available for streaming at your convenience. Pack your bags and get ready to embark on this unforgettable journey with us as we continue to Cross America—exploring parks, visiting schools, and inspiring the next generation of nature stewards!
