ABOUT STEAM TREK

STEAM Trek brings the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science into classrooms across New Mexico through free, film-based virtual field trips designed for K–12 students. Each experience pairs dynamic educational content with teacher resources, optional hands-on learning, and a free Discovery Box that extends the experience beyond the screen.

 

Offered free to K–12 school groups statewide, STEAM Trek makes it easier for educators to bring high-quality STEAM learning to their students—wherever they are.

ACCESS TO MODERN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES SHOULDN'T DEPEND ON GEOGRAPHY

We stand by our belief that the wonders of our natural world belong to everyone. STEAM Trek expands access to Museum-supported educational experiences by delivering virtual field trips to schools, homeschool groups, and other learning communities throughout our entire state. Originally built to support educators and engage students during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program continues to use the power of film, guided discussion, and hands-on materials to create lessons that are accessible, memorable, and easy to bring into any educational setting.

WHAT A STEAM TREK VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP INCLUDES

Each STEAM Trek field trip is designed as a complete educational experience.
Every trip includes:​​

​

  • a 40-50 minute film from the Verus Research DynaTheater

  • teacher prep notes & discussion questions

  • an optional hands-on activity

  • an optional 10-minute virtual tour of the Museum

 

​​When optional activities are included, a field trip runs approximately two hours and can serve up to 30 students per classroom.

WHAT  YOUR  CLASSROOM  NEEDS

Virtual classrooms will need:​​

​

  • internet access

​​Some classrooms may also choose to have students view content on individual computers. We recommend testing your streaming setup in advance.
