EDUCATION
Lacawac’s YES (Youth Engaging Science) Programs provide opportunities for PreKindergarten through 12th grade students in to participate in hands-on environmental STEM education programs both in and out of school. Direct experiences with nature provide relevant learning that equips students with critical thinking, creative approaches, and problem-solving skills.
WHY STEM?
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is an interdisciplinary and inquiry-based method of learning. It goes beyond the mere transfer of knowledge; it creates connections between school learning, the community, and the world beyond.
Lacawac delivers STEM programs that utilize nature as the foundation of learning. When nature-based curriculum is used, students are three times more likely to find the material interesting and create lasting memories. Lacawac strives each year to take our inquiry-based science programs to the next level, transforming the way teachers teach and students learn environmental education.
