Our Mission

Watch Our Infomercial​​

Our mission is to connect public school science classrooms and scientists to create engaging learning opportunities about amphibian biology

Scientist Responsibilities

• We will provide you with everything to get started - including a full terrarium set up and frogs.
• We have sample lesson plans for integrating your classroom poison frogs into your science curriculum.
• Scientists will visit you in your classrooms if you are near one of our network laboratories or we can visit your classroom virtually.​​

Classroom Responsibilities

• Each classroom cares for their classroom pets. This is a team effort that requires culturing feeder insects as food for frogs and ensuring that each frog has a suitable habitat.
• Please contribute to the community by sharing your lesson plans!

History

The Frogger School Program was developed by Dr. Lauren O'Connell in 2012, as a partnership with K-12 science teachers to bring dynamic, meaningful, and engaging learning experiences to the classroom. 

​We are a network of scientists across many different universities that are passionate about public engagement. Our goal is to connect with children and adults about rainforest biodiversity, amphibian conservation, bioinformatics, and generally about how science is awesome.
