Menominee Indian High School

Native American students are traditionally underrepresented in STEM careers and students at Menominee Indian High School, a rural school located in Menominee County on the Menominee Indian Reservation, have very limited access and exposure to STEM education in school. The proximity to vast natural resources, along with the strong connection between the Menominee Indian culture and the environment, create endless opportunities for outdoor hands-on learning. From quantifying the health of a pristine local stream ecosystem to studying photosynthesis in an interactive manner, Vernier equipment will increase outdoor STEM learning activities for these students.
