Welcome to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

 Canine and Wildlife Rescue Class for Children of Fallen Heroes!

In this class, we will explore the exciting world of animal rescue and learn about the different techniques and technologies used to save animals in distress. Our focus will be on canines and wildlife, two important areas of animal rescue where specialized knowledge and skills are required.

As children of fallen heroes, you are already familiar with the concept of sacrifice and dedication to a noble cause. In this class, we will channel these values toward learning about animal rescue, and how we can make a positive impact on the lives of animals.

​

Our class will be divided into two parts: Canine Rescue and Wildlife Rescue. Let's take a closer look at each of these areas.

​

Canine Rescue:

Dogs are often used in rescue operations due to their excellent sense of smell, agility, and intelligence. We will learn about different types of canine rescue, including:

1. Search and Rescue: Dogs trained to locate missing persons or victims in disasters.

2. Detection Dogs: Dogs trained to sniff out specific substances like drugs, explosives, or even medical conditions.

3. Water Rescue Dogs: Dogs trained to save people from drowning or assist in water-based rescues.

We will also learn about the equipment used in canine rescues, such as harnesses, leashes, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

​

Wildlife Rescue:

Wildlife rescue is a critical component of conservation efforts. In this part of the class, we will learn about different types of wildlife rescue and the challenges faced by rescuers. Some of the topics we will cover include:

1. Wildlife Rehabilitation: Treating and rehabilitating injured or orphaned animals with the goal of releasing them back into the wild.

2. Wildlife Conservation: Protecting endangered species and their habitats through research and education.

3. Wildlife Forensics: Using scientific techniques to investigate crimes against wildlife, such as poaching or animal trafficking.

​

We will also discuss the importance of ethical wildlife rescue practices and the role of technology in wildlife rescue.

​

Throughout the class, we will also discuss the importance of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. We will learn how to interact with animals safely and how to provide them with the care they need.

​

By the end of this class, the children will have gained an appreciation for the importance of animal rescue and the unique challenges faced by rescuers. They will also have gained practical skills that can be applied to helping animals in need.
