Access to standards-aligned STEM materials

Supporting educators inside and outside the classroom is a primary objective of the Our Trees Live project. Part of meeting this objective is to provide learning materials that work with current standards such as the Common Core and Next Generate Science Standards.

Connect to other schools and researchers

Science is strongest when it is shared with other researchers, students and policy makers. Having access to student-led research around the globe opens the doors to asking bigger questions.

Purchase low-cost research equipment

Low-cost research equipment for your classroom or summer camp enables your students to gain real experience in collecting data from the field. Research quality data drives real scientific exploration.
