Hands-on and outdoor learning is the heart of our educational programs at Audubon Southwest. We combine learning about conservation and science, with hands-on, activities and exploration that engage students’ minds and peak their curiosity. Whether it’s using binoculars and microscopes to observe wildlife in the schoolyard, or arts and crafts that explore phenomena of the natural world at the Rio Salado habitat, kids (and adults!) learn best when their hands, bodies, and brains are moving.
