Giving your students or campus-based group the opportunity to create a walkSTEM® experience is a great way to take them “outside the textbook” with a hands-on, inquiry-based project!
If you are a 2 or 4 year college instructor, a graduate student, student group leader, or researcher, give your students the opportunity to explore their college or university campus in a new way! Encourage them to find a space on campus where they can design an experience.
Talk to campus administrators about the walkSTEM® experience you create and consider making it available to the broader community, such as visiting K-12 students or instructors teaching relevant classes.
Community Engagement offices on campus may be particularly interested in collaborating with faculty, students, and volunteers to create a campus walkSTEM tour. Using QR codes and some signage, this can even be a very easy, yet powerful, way for school groups to engage with your campus. Read on to learn how to get started.
