Things That Creep

is committed to advancing equity by providing students with accessible, high-quality, hands-on science education. Our programs build understanding of foundational STEAM concepts, foster connections to local ecosystems, and ignite curiosity and passion for community-centered conservation.

 

Live Animal Programs

Our Neighborhood Snakes digital curriculum is now available for FREE! Learn to identify the most common snakes seen in San Francisco Bay Area through our one-of-a-kind curriculum for Kindergarten-5th grade.

Hold snakes, pet lizards and touch a tortoise! Meet our animal ambassadors in person in our hands-on education programs that travel to you.

Our animal ambassadors go to summer camps, community events, scout meetings and more.

For events where guests come and go, we offer a tabling set-up where guests can interact with our animal ambassadors at their own pace.


Your Support Makes Our Work Possible

Sponsoring an animal ambassador, volunteering or donating a car, are a few ways to help support us in bringing our programs to our community across the Bay Area. Learn more about how to help here.

Through your support we’ve been able to create a hands-on STEAM curriculum that introduces students to reptiles that they might find in our Bay Area parks, school yards and gardens.

 

Good Neighbor to Nature

Small actions can have a large impact on the wildlife that share our ecosystem.

We can be a good neighbor to nature through easy steps we can take in our daily lives. Learn how to create a salamander garden, support backyard lizards and other tips for supporting wildlife here.


“After the presentation, I heard the students express amazement and some were saying that it was the best day ever! The fact that the presentation was given in Spanish and English fully engaged all students. Well-done and thank you!” -Elizabeth Santos, 3rd Grade Teacher
