We offer three partnerships that bring hands-on STEM experiences directly to your school. Activities will be set up in one area of your school, and multiple groups of students can partake throughout the school day.
SEWRPC Activities (Grades 2-8) (Groups of 10-25, smaller preferred)
The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission provides two in-class, interactive sessions that highlight planning and innovation in our communities. Standard sessions are 45–50 minutes but can be adjusted to 25–60 minutes.
- Grades 2–6: City Planning Model – Students work in small groups to design and build their own city.
- Grades 4–8: Floodplain Model – Students explore how land use impacts water flow using a hands-on floodplain model.
MATC Mobile STEM Lab (Grades 4–8) (Groups of 10-12)
Milwaukee Area Technical College brings a mobile STEM lab to your school for a hands-on automation demonstration. A 15' x 25' off-street space is required for parking. Students participate in a 10–25-minute session.
Wisconsin DNR Wildlife Activity (Grades 5-12) (Groups of 10-30)
Students learn about careers in wildlife conservation and how staff protect animals and habitats in Wisconsin. The activity includes hands-on identification with furs, feathers, skulls, tracks, and even fake scat. Standard sessions are 40-50 minutes, but can be adjusted to 20-60 minutes.
