Education and Outreach
Our goal is to use the excitement and promise of deep underground science and engineering to inspire and engage students, educators, and the wider community through a variety of programming.
Field Trips and Presentations
We offer a variety of tours, presentations, and hands-on activities that provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the cutting-edge research happening at the Sanford Underground Research Facility and all that goes into supporting this work.
Engineering Design Challenges
Curious classrooms have the opportunity to create unique solutions to real-world challenges.
With these engaging design challenges, you can promote critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.
K-12 Curriculum Units
Nurture growing minds and get students thinking (and talking) about science at a deeper level than ever before. Each phenomena-based unit inspires students to ask questions, reinforces connections to previous experiences, and supports the construction of scientific explanations.
Unsure where to begin? Let our knowledgeable team of educators work with you to design a fun and educational experience.
