Minnesota Academic Standards in Science

During each field trip, students explore the connections between science and innovation through an inquiry-based workshop and tour of our exhibits or the nearby Pavek Museum. Attendees will engage in hands-on challenges designed to spark curiosity, create conversations, and awaken the innovator in each student.
