Mission Statement:
The Asombro Institute for Science Education is dedicated to increasing scientific literacy by fostering an understanding of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Programs:
The Asombro Institute for Science Education is home to the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park.
Our programs include K-12 classroom programs. These hands-on, inquiry-based science lessons are an hour in length and are correlated to New Mexico State Education Standards. Each program is grade specific.
Our field trips (for K-12 students) are day-long and cover a variety of topics such as desert animal and plant adaptations, soil science, geology, fossils, hierarchy and classification, and more.
We offer public programs several times a year at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park, including our Annual Butterfly Flutterby every August.
