Tech Thursday (2/10/2022): Schedule a Yellowstone Distance Learning Program!

Schedule a Yellowstone Distance Learning Program and Let the National Park Service Bring Yellowstone to Your Students!

Connect classes with a Yellowstone National Park Ranger to learn more about geology (geysers, hot springs, volcanoes), ecology (wildlife, predator/prey, fire, habitats, adaptations), or cultural history, and the National Park Service mission of preservation. Use the world's first national park to bring science, math, and social studies to life for your students!

Classes can learn about careers by interviewing a park ranger or solve a geography challenge to determine where the park ranger works by participating in a “Mystery” meeting. The live program is about 20-40 minutes.

To participate, you'll need a group of ten or more students. Educators will also need a computer, tablet, or device with webcam, internet connection, and access to a video conference platform.

To schedule a Yellowstone distance learning program, get resources for activities, and/ or see prerecorded distance learning videos, visit their distance learning page HERE.
