Growing Great Minds

Growing Great Minds (GGM) is a collaborative effort with other youth-serving organizations in the Wood River Valley to provide local school teachers with curriculum-based, in-school supplementary science programs. GGM lessons are offered at the request of teachers or administrators. For more details about the ERC’s in-school Growing Great Minds programs, click here.

Each program uses environmental education to build critical thinking and inquiry skills, address science and math curriculum standards, and deepen students’ connection with the natural world. Students have the opportunity to explore scientific topics fully in a more hands-on manner with educators specializing in environmental education.

GGM collaborators include the Sawtooth Botanical Garden (SBG), Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), and Blaine County 4-H.
