Forest Regen Climate Initiative (FRCI), in partnership with The Science House at NC State University, invites middle schoolers to “Forest Tech Explorers,” a half-day hands-on STEM experience. Students will build forest ecosystem models, collect and analyze real forest data, and explore forest mapping—all using North Carolina’s unique forests as a focus. By combining creative model-building with data analysis and GIS mapping, students will gain a well-rounded understanding of forests’ role in environmental health, while learning how STEM tools apply to real-world challenges.
