bringing hands-on science to Utah's students and teachers
For the past five years, The Leo on Wheels outreach program has traveled to schools throughout Utah. The program now serves nearly 12,000 students each year! The on-wheels program also holds Community Nights for parents, siblings and the general public in conjunction with most school visits. The Leo on Wheels currently offers hands-on experiments that support Utah State Office of Education Math and Science Core Curriculum Standards for intermediate school students (grades 7-9).

Community Nights
In addition to the school time program, a visit from The Leo on Wheels includes a Community Night. The event is a two-hour open house held one evening during the week of your visit from The Leo on Wheels for parents, siblings, and members of the community to interact with the exhibits. Many schools utilize Community Nights to showcase what their students are learning in school.
