Have a Little going into 9th Grade? The Naturalist Program at the EcoTarium is a new educational initiative geared toward rising ninth graders interested in learning about natural science, careers in STEM, and museum work.
This three-year, cumulative program will follow the schedule of the school year and will include hands-on, interactive activities, projects, and exploration of the museum’s collection. The first two years focus on New England Ecology and STEM careers. Each month will have a different theme with corresponding citizen science projects, museum projects, and field trips. Year three will include rotations of internships in various departments in the museum so youth will gain experience working with the Collections, Wildlife, Exhibits, and Education departments. The Naturalist Program is an excellent way to help youth gain skills they need to succeed in life. Form to nominate a youth here. Application for a nominated youth to fill out here. |
