MidAmerica is proud to support Mizzen Education in their mission to foster a love of learning and expand access to education across the country, including rural areas. We are excited to partner with Mizzen to provide valuable STEM education and learning resources for the educators and students in area school districts.
MidAmerica has created a STEM Alliance which includes in-school and out-of-school opportunities designed to engage young people in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics learning activities. We believe that these opportunities help area students discover interest, aptitude and develop a vision for their futures.
In-School STEM Labs
MidAmerica has invested almost $3 million in area school districts to provide diverse STEM learning experiences. These labs meet the students where they are, serve hundreds of students year after year.
Out-of-School STEM
MidAmerica has established a variety of STEM learning opportunities for out-of-school time. From robotics, bikes, fishing and more, we seek ways to leverage the interest of young people and engage them in valuable experiences.
Post Secondary
MidAmerica has created post-secondary education and training programs that are aligned with in-demand, high-wage STEM careers located at the Park, and beyond. High school internships and work experience ensure continued connections.

Observation is the cornerstone of the inquiry process. It begins an investigation and continues throughout it. When making observations, children are learning to gather evidence, organize their ideas, and propose explanations about the world around them. By challenging children to use their five senses to make detailed observations, teachers are encouraging students to collect and organize information about natural phenomena that they naturally find compelling. ¹
While touch and taste help round out the five senses, it’s crucial children do not touch or taste anything that could cause harm, such as poison ivy or Virginia creeper berries.
