K-12 Teachers

We offer a number of resources to K-12 teachers looking to add hands on activities to their teaching. BEN works with teachers to develop lesson plans that fit within the common core standards. An example of an available resource is a 35 minute hands-on lesson on biodiversity.

Non-profit organizations

We are excited to contribute to the needs of local non-profit organizations. BEN works with the organization to identify how our expertise can help to meet the needs of the non-profit organization. An example of an ongoing partnership is our work with the Binghamton Zoo, NYSParks FORCES program, and Nature Enrichment Program with Achieve New York.
