EdZOOcation programs: Lil' Explorer Thursdays and Como's Nature Engineers
Como will develop a free weekly program series that will attract our youngest of guests for perhaps their first introduction to education experiences that will feature hands-on programming and interactives. The programs will be designed to encourage family learning and foster environmental awareness.
Education programs will “hit the road” with Como’s Nature Engineers, offering free programming to a variety of venues targeting under served communities in which financial barriers limit their access to our venue and other educational experiences at their locations.

Increase participation numbers for onsite and offsite programs. Participant surveys will measure increased knowledge in conservation and making connections between living things in our lives. Staff evaluations and observations will measure how well the zoo provides meaningful programs.
