AVALANCHE EDUCATION
avalanche education courses have been intentionally designed by our lead guide, Sammy Rubin, to make complex scientific concepts accessible to people from all backgrounds. We teach with clarity, brevity, and purpose — no endless lectures, just engaging, hands-on learning. Each course is built around interaction, real-world practice, and curiosity. You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of the key concepts, practical skills to refine on your own, and a genuine thirst for more learning when the time feels right.
