The Minnesota Wild is dedicated to helping teachers, students, and parents continue to focus on education during these uncertain times. During the month of May, the Wild will unroll various educational initiatives focused on assisting with distance learning for students of all ages. These projects will allow students at home to stay engaged and excited about learning.
Wild University is an online high school level curriculum created to teach high school students about the various business components of live sports and entertainment. Presented by employees of the Minnesota Wild and Xcel Energy Center, students will learn about the variety of occupations and skills needed for a career in the sports and entertainment industry. Each month, leaders representing different departments from throughout the organization discuss their respective areas of expertise with students from the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities.
