We asked teachers to share what they loved about their visit to our discovery center.
- Hands-On Learning
“The trip was extremely interactive in the upstairs interactive museum area! I loved learning from it even as the teacher!”
– Jessica Peterson, Brillion Elementary School Teacher| STEM Specialist
Popular exhibits include the combine harvest simulators (we’ve got two – double the fun!), a milking unit with working vacuum pressure, and a kinetic sand table replicating water’s journey across the land.
- Connection to STEM
“As a teacher, my favorite part was watching the kids enjoy the different parts of the [driving dairy farm] tour. I could see connections being made to their own life as well as to what we are doing in school.”
– Katie Nooyen, Sunnyside Elementary School Third Grade Teacher
STEM concepts come to life on the driving tour of our partner dairy farm. Students make connections to soil and crop science, cow technology, barn engineering and design, real-world math, and more.
- Passionate Staff
“Our tour guides/educators really enjoyed their job teaching youth about dairy cows/calves. Their enthusiasm for what they were teaching kept our middle schoolers engaged.”
– Holly Luerssen, Marathon County 4-H Educator
Our team members have a deep love for agriculture and are eager to share their time and talents with students of all ages. A big smile is sure to greet you upon arrival for your visit.
- Easy to plan
“The [field] trip coordinator made things very simplistic to understand and supported me through the scheduling process.”
– David Miller, Sheboygan North High School Botany Teacher
