Winter brings with it a distinct beauty—crisp air, snow-covered landscapes, and a unique opportunity for adventure and learning. While many might associate the need to “get outside” with warmer months, winter provides a distinct setting for outdoor education that offers numerous benefits for students of all ages. From building resilience to fostering creativity, outdoor education in the winter can be both enriching and transformative.
By integrating FIRST Robotics into Physics curriculum, our students combine one of their co-curricular passion projects – FIRST Robotics – with their Physics labs, enhancing their learning because they’re studying what they love.
