Bucky's Classroom

The Bucky’s Classroom visit program, offered only in Wisconsin, pairs UW student ambassadors with 7th grade classrooms around the state. Ambassadors lead the 60 to 90 minute session to share their UW experience and present college planning information in a fun, interactive way. The goal of the program is to help 7th grade students build a better understanding of college both academically and socially, gain knowledge about resources to help pay for college, explore possible career options and discover the importance of establishing a strong foundation for their future, rooted in education. At the end of the semester, students and teachers are invited to campus to enjoy a campus tour, a hands-on-learning experience offered in partnership with numerous UW departments, and enjoy some legendary Babcock ice cream. For classes who are unable to travel to campus, virtual learning experiences are available, as well as a virtual tour of campus. There is no cost to participate in the program, however schools travelling to campus are responsible for providing/bringing sack lunches and providing their own transportation. The Bucky's Classroom Resource program offers spirit items and educational materials to Wisconsin teachers and school administrators. For more information, please email buckysclassroom@uwmad.wisc.edu.
