Enthusiastic Sky School Participants

'Arizona Illustrated' presents: UA Science: Sky School

The UA Science Sky School is an outdoor education program run by the university's graduate students. It brings K-12 children out onto Mt. Lemmon to expose them to different fields of science, such as geology, biology and astronomy, which meant Ryan got to learn about rocks from both Earth and space, and even the tiny bugs that caught his attention at the Babad Do’ag trailhead.

Alan Strauss, the director of the Sky Center, said the program is a cooperative effort of different science departments at the UA and their graduate students to “build a bridge between their research and the public.”

The Sky School’s classroom is the entirety of Mt. Lemmon, concluding at the Sky Center campus at the summit of the mountain. Click Here
