EDUCATION AND EXPLORATION
Get Outdoors Nevada offers a wide range of nature and science education programs, designed to connect diverse audiences to the benefits of the outdoors.
Our programs include native habitat builds, formal and informal classroom programs, school assemblies, teacher trainings, guided field trips, microgrant funding, and outreach and tabling for fairs and community events. Although our programs mainly focus on reaching underserved youth, we also reach teachers, professionals, and the general community.
Specifically, our programs strive to meet the following goals:
- Support students in their grade-specific science standards.
- Provide participants with greater knowledge of science and nature.
- Provide participants with increased interest and attitudes about STEM, conservation, and community.
- Increase participants' time spent outdoors, stewardship, critical thinking skills, and connection to the outdoors.
In order to determine our effectiveness, many of our programs are evaluated using the above metrics. For specific information on our individual programs, please see the tabs below.
