The program takes place primarily within school classrooms and includes out-of-school field experiences, designed and facilitated by Wagner educators. The Wagner’s outreach programs require a skilled educator with an understanding of science and teaching.

In addition to GeoKids, these programs include school field trips, museum engagement activities, Family Science Saturdays and Wagner to Go.
