PreK-2nd Outdoor STEM Area

Why Outdoor STEM Areas Matter

The outdoor STEM area for PreKû2nd grade is designed to connect children with nature through interactive, hands-on STEM lessons. These spaces promote self-directed learning, discovery, and confidence. With weather-resistant activity tables and seating, students can comfortably explore science and nature in a collaborative environment.

What Makes a Great Outdoor STEM Area?

For Students

Children need space to gather, observe, collect, and experiment with natural elements. Ample seating and table space supports both independent exploration and peer collaboration.

For Teachers

Outdoor layouts should feature open spaces that make it easy to monitor and interact with student groups. Durable furniture ensures low maintenance year-round.
