Learn with us.

Education services at the Fairbanks Museum are designed to inspire, engage and encourage students to become curious about our natural world. These programs are developed by Museum educators to meet Next Generation Science Standards.

The Museum’s learning experiences take place in our awe-inspiring galleries, state-of-the-art STEM Lab, nature classrooms, and outdoor campuses. You’ll discover the natural world with trained specialists in astronomy, meteorology, natural history, environmental science, and other Earth sciences.
