Outdoor Experiences

Check out some of our experiences that we offer!

We invite you to explore a wide array of engaging outdoor STEM experiences. We’ve taken learning beyond the classroom and into the great outdoors, offering opportunities for hands-on exploration and discovery.

What sets us apart is our innovative approach, where some of these experiences come to life with the help of a digital companion, accessible through a QR code located on onsite signage.

From day and night astronomy to discovering the beauty of native Indiana plants, and even delving into roadway safety, our campus offers a diverse range of educational adventures that blend the wonders of nature with the excitement of scientific exploration.
