walkSTEM® Experiences

We invite all school groups and other visitors to utilize these free experiences. These are great for all who are up for taking a look at their environments in a fun and different way! You will notice things you may have passed by many times, appreciate the unexpected connections between art, architecture, math, science, engineering, and technology, and flex those problem solving muscles. Grownups, families, educators, student groups (K-12) are all welcome. If you go on any of these stops (and you are free to take in one or more stops in these walks), we’d love to see your selfies, comments, and questions. Use #walkSTEM.

Some of our experiences are available as self-guided audio tours via the Otocast mobile platform. You can download the free mobile Otocast ion your iOS and Android device. Otocast is your gateway to over 3,500 points of interest around the country. Our tours are suitable for a wide range of ages.

You are also very welcome to go on a virtual walkSTEM tour through our collection of short videos on walkSTEM Academy.
