Who It's For
YOUTH WHO ARE
We are contracted with a school/teacher or organization per event.
Program Overview
The WMF's Community Outreach Mobile Educational Program's focus is to bring local earth science (local Ice Age history, methods in paleontology, archaeology, geology), into our schools and communities that will inspire youth, cultivate curiosity, and a desire to learn more.
The WMF does this by utilizing WMF lessons and presentations that meet STEM and the Next Generation Science Standards. The WMF also provides a Mobile Educational Exhibit that displays ancient fossils, casts, petrified wood, volcanic rocks, and items that supports the curriculum.
Youth can even touch a "real mammoth tusk"! The WMF also brings hands-on activities that supports the lesson topic. The lessons, exhibit, and activities can be adjusted to meet the teacher's or event's focus.
More information and scheduling forms can be found at www.wenasmammoth.org.
