Watch: University of Arizona's Sky School featured on Arizona Illustrated
The University of Arizona Sky School is an innovative educational program that takes students of all ages to the summit of Mt. Lemmon for a retreat to learn about the ecosystems atop Arizona’s sky islands.
The University of Arizona Sky School is an innovative educational program for students of all ages that integrates a wide variety of science and engineering disciples while fostering a deep connection to nature and a sense of place. Students travel up to the summit of Mt. Lemmon in the majestic Catalina Mountains and spend 1-3 nights doing field work around Steward Observatory’s Sky Center. While there, they can peer through telescopes, take tree core samples, and learn all about the ecosystems that surround them.
Arizona Illustrated recently toured the magnificent facility and shared the impact it makes on the southern Arizona community. Click here to watch on YouTube.
