Classrooms
Turn local ponds into living lessons.
Give students a real scientific question, a real field sample, and real species findings to investigate — from the schoolyard to the neighborhood stream.
The impact
How eDNA transforms your work
Authentic science
Students follow the same collect–analyze–interpret process working ecologists use.
Local connection
Findings come from places students know, making biodiversity personal and memorable.
Year-over-year inquiry
Repeat sampling lets classes compare seasons and build on previous cohorts' work.
Custom classroom programs
Turnkey field science, ready for your classroom.
Each program arrives complete: a full sampling protocol, research questions, data-collection steps, and analysis activities — designed to integrate with your curriculum, not compete with it. No prep, no specialized equipment, no guesswork. Open the kit and go.
