Looking for an outdoor adventure to engage Pre-K-12 explorers this school year?
STEM Challenges will give your group the chance to explore and discover the Fort Worth Botanic Garden while providing hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities related to a variety of garden spaces. Field trip groups will also receive materials to complete an Engineering Design Challenge, where students will apply their field trip observations and findings to complete an engineering project back in the classroom or at home!
This program is at capacity through July 2024. Self-Guided Field Trips are still available, or we would love to see you in the Fall!
Tuesday – Friday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm or 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
