Sponsored by the Center for Biology Education, ARMS is designed to help make science real and meaningful at the elementary level through long-term community partnerships. The program works to bring scientists and aspiring scientists into schools as role models and also to help teachers and parents to be role models in science. Programs include classroom volunteers, after-school science clubs, and Family Science Nights. ARMS also works to connect classroom learning to informal education venues. Seven Madison schools participate in ARMS: Frank Allis, Emerson, Hawthorne, Lake View, Lincoln, Lowell, and Mendota.

Its goal is to help people of all ages explore the excitement and wonder of biology. In 2007, the club received an Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment, which will enable members to design new outreach materials on a range of biology topics and make the materials available to teachers statewide. During the three-year grant period, the group also plans to conduct 20 outreach events per year.

BioTrek is the science outreach program of the Biotechnology Center of UW–Madison and of UW–Extension. BioTrek engages the public in the outreach mission of the University by providing tours and workshops at the Biotechnology Center on the UW–Madison campus.
