Visiting classes have the opportunity to visit behind the scenes and meet with students and faculty involved in many kinds of research—from atoms to ecosystems.

What We Do
The Biodiversity Institute provides engaging and rigorous educational opportunities for all of Wyoming's students, from kindergarten through college and beyond.
Some of our goals for biodiversity education are:
- To engage younger students in biodiversity science in ways that lead to an appreciation of the diversity of life and the complexity of the natural world,
- To provide materials and resources to help educators meet Wyoming science standards,
- To provide all students with opportunities to gain understanding of, and familiarity with, the biodiversity of Wyoming and the world, and to encourage an ethos of conservation.
