One of the field trips that we funded this year was for 7th and 8th grade students from Kanab Middle School. They attended the UTXplore event at . At the event, they visited our mobile STEM laboratory as well as other stations.

Principal Braxton Bateman said, "This event was terrific! Our students enjoyed learning while having fun! They really enjoyed the dry ice bubbles and the mini golf station. We currently have a couple of STEM classes. This sparked their excitement for new learning."

We are so glad we could help these students by covering their travel costs so they could participate at this spectacular event!

Check out this adorable field trip that we helped to fund! The kindergarten team from North Elementary took all 5 classes to the for some fun hands-on STEM experiences.

Thank you for joining us at STEM in the Field this year! We loved exploring the night sky at Ashcroft Observatory, investigating what goes on behind the scenes at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, and digging into agriculture at the SUU Farm. A big thanks to our presenters and partners and all who joined us as we discovered STEM in our community!

Meet Lisa! 🤍
She’s all about roller coasters 🎢 and pizza 🍕—honestly the perfect combo.
Fun fact: her first job was a snake caretaker (yes… snakes 🐍), and she even studied theater management in London for a semester!
Her degree is in Recreation and Youth Leadership, and we’re so lucky to have her here! 🙌

Another amazing field trip funded! Suzanne Moon from Fiddlers Canyon Elementary took second graders to the Red Hills Desert Garden and Pioneer Trail in St. George. She said, "The students loved seeing the desert garden habitat! We saw an owl family 🦉 and mega bloom of an agave. They were excited to see lizards 🦎, native fish 🐟, spiders 🕷️, and any other creature along the way. We talked about the rich pioneer and Native American history of the area. We loved going in "caves" and climbing all over the red rocks."

We are so glad we could help facilitate this amazing adventure for these students!

Thank you for a wonderful year of Toddler Tuesday at the SUU STEM Center! We loved exploring the Science of Cooking in the fall with special guest Professor Eves.

We’re so grateful for everyone's support and for our partners for helping make this year such a success.
