Leo on Wheels
Bring The Leonardo to your school!
Each school year, The Leonardo travels across Utah to provide a FREE exploratory science program (Leo on Wheels) to 7th-grade science classes. Our current program allows students to apply the Laws of Motion to the construction of their own Rube Goldberg machines.

Outreach for All
While Leo on Wheels is only delivered to certain grades and schools, The Leonardo would like to help every student in Utah receive educational programming.
We encourage educators of other institutions and grades to check out our Field Trip page or local schools may contact us about participating in their science fairs and community nights.
In addition, we encourage educators to follow this link to the iSEE Utah website and see what programs our partners organizations have that may be better suited for them.
