They will also explore the Starlab Planetarium and operate Mars rovers and robots over a simulated Martian landscape. If space isn't your thing, a six-day canoeing exploration of local wetlands is an option on the Riparian and Wetland Virtual Field Trip. Each trip will be scientifically documented and an online field trip will be created. Each workshop session ends with a closing ceremony, a special event allowing participants and instructors to share what they have learned with family, friends and peers. Workshop sessions are split up according to grade levels.
Enrollment is limited and is on a first come, first serve basis.

Cunningham has spent more than 1,000 hours volunteering and she is currently working as a Vista volunteer at the Logan Volunteer Center. Peak, an assistant professor in USU's Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology, was recognized by students and faculty members for her award.
