Bend Science Station
"The Bend Science Station provides exceptional, laboratory-based science education for Central Oregon students in K- 12th grade and inquiry-based training for their teachers. Through problem solving and collaboration, we engage youth as young scientists, empowering them to be critical thinkers. Last year, we taught 7,000 students from a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds from 40 schools across Deschutes County, including Targeted Title I schools and Spanish speaking classrooms. Our student researchers have gone on to win awards and university scholarships for their ground-breaking work. We also provide graduate-level training for teachers, including access to a Science + Technology Lending Library and supported curriculum."
"The Science Station offers four sessions of lab-based STEM classes for elementary (3-5th) and middle school (6-8th) students on Wednesdays during the school year. These hands-on two hour classes meet once a week for six weeks. Class size is capped at 14 students."

High Desert Museum"The High Desert Museum has been inspiring families since 1982 and is consistently rated as the top Central Oregon attraction by Trip Advisor. With 135 acres and more than 100,000 square feet of exhibit space in the Museum, it’s a “must see” for anyone traveling through – or living in – the region. Get a close-up view of native wildlife, such as river otters, porcupines and raptors. Talk with historic characters who share tales of early Oregon homesteaders. Visit an authentic ranch and sawmill from 1904.
Experience a close encounter with owls, falcons, hawks and even a vulture. Learn about Native American culture and history, and delight your children with one of many fun, hands-on programs that bring history and science to life. Homeschool Day is your chance to experience a field trip at the High Desert Museum! You can tour the museum, attend a Discovery Class (registration required for students), and attend special wildlife encounters. We will also have facilitated art activities and other special programs to make this the perfect day for homeschoolers to visit the Museum." *Quoted summary copied from High Desert Museum website.
