Stay Curious, Utah! 2024-2025

Join us on a journey this school year to satisfy your students’ curiosity about Utah’s natural history and the natural world. This year's theme will be The Wonders of Water to showcase the important role water plays in Utah's ecosystems. Each webinar will explore this theme in different ways, so be sure to tune in for each webinar to learn throughout the school year!
