Eagle County School District Programs
Working with the Eagle County School District to align our programs with state science curriculum, Walking Mountains is proud to bring our mission to our local students grades K-8. In 2015 we pledged to serve every student in Eagle County at least once through these programs.
School Field Science Programs
Working in conjunction with the local school district and private schools, Walking Mountains Science Center serves students in Eagle County through natural science programs that take place in nature, that compliment classroom curriculum, and that narrow the achievement gap by enhancing scientific and environmental literacy.
Girls in Science
Girls in Science is an after school program that nurtures and inspires an interest in science for girls in the 3rd through 5th grade. The program was developed to address a national trend of girls falling academically behind in science by their middle and high school years.
The Girls in Science program is generously underwritten by, The Harvey Family Foundation, The Scrooby Foundation and the Xcel Energy Foundation.
Sowing Seeds
For seven years, Sowing Seeds has introduced young students in Eagle County to the world of gardening, healthy eating and environmental stewardship. Stem by stem, leaf by leaf, hundreds of children have learned a valuable lesson: that time, patience, and constant care create amazing results.
STEM Curiosity Lab
STEM programming at Walking Mountains provides hands-on experiments and activities that allow your child to explore real-world examples of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Explore your greatest curiosities through student-centered projects. Students who engage in STEM activities at a young age experience increased scores in math and science and have a higher rate going into a STEM related career.
