Education at Tyson
An important part of Tyson's mission is to provide educational benefits to Washington University in St. Louis and regional colleges and universities by making Tyson available as an outdoor classroom (we also have indoor classroom and computer lab space available for teaching). Additionally, we aim to augment our traditional teaching with scientific outreach and K-12 educational programs, wherein we provide young, enthusiastic students with early hands-on experiences in the natural and environmental sciences.
