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. We also include a STEM challenge connected to one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Goals. 

Choose the dropdown menu above and choose your favorite National Park Site. 

​​Join us as we travel the country and show you the amazing world of National Parks. You will find Virtual Field Trips, Ranger Interviews, STEM challenges, Historical Perspectives, and Literacy Connections.  This is all ABSOLUTELY FREE! If you are a corporation, foundation, or just an individual who wants to invest in students and teachers, please contact us at dacia@expeditionsineducation.org There's a place for you in our passion project.

Why Do We Create Opportunities for Students to Care About National Parks?
Students should take care of national parks for a lot of reasons. Our national parks are part of our cultural heritage. Many of the plants and animals there are found nowhere else, and they offer unique opportunities for education, recreation, and inspiration.

Overcrowding, pollution, and climate change are some of the challenges facing national parks. We all have a responsibility to protect and preserve these special places for future generations. It's important to teach students how to be good stewards and equip them with skills to protect national parks.

Nature can inspire curiosity, creativity, and problem solving in kids, as well as help them connect with nature, which is good for their mental and physical health.

National parks teach students about environmental and social responsibility, which will help them become responsible adults, citizens, and make informed decisions that benefit the planet.
