Science on Wheels
About
spectrUM's Science on Wheels program transformes school gyms and cafeterias into powerful science learning centers that help inspire Montana's next generation of scientists, health care providers, engineers, and visionaries. Students can explore spectrUM's exhibits through educator-guided field trips and family science nights. Exhibitions are designed around state standards and center on topics such as neuroscience, nanotechnology, motion, and health sciences.
To see this program in action, watch our Science on Wheels video produced by the MAPS Media Institute.
