Transform your field trip into an adventure in STEM. A STEMventure invites students to discover the STEM Experience Center through self-guided exploration, hands-on engagement, and playful learning. By following their curiosity and interacting with the campus environment, students build connections to STEM concepts in ways that are both meaningful and memorable.
For just $8 per student, your group can enjoy the freedom to explore the STEM Experience Center at their own pace while experiencing STEM in action. There is also ample outdoor space available for groups of any age or size to relax and enjoy a picnic lunch, making it easy to turn your visit into a full day of learning and fun.
Physical activity and experiential learning go hand in hand. Add a facilitated outdoor recreation experience to your STEM Experience Center visit and give students the opportunity to apply teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills in a dynamic outdoor setting.
Our trained facilitators lead engaging activities such as:
These add-on experiences encourage student engagement, promote healthy activity, and provide a fun complement to STEM learning programs.
Ask about available outdoor activity options and pricing when booking your visit.
Exploration is important, but sometimes the best learning happens when students are guided by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor. Our facilitated program opportunities give groups the chance to participate in engaging, hands-on experiences led by trained educators who walk participants through each activity step by step.
These scheduled programs offer a perfect balance of instruction, participation, and discovery, allowing students to build new skills, ask questions, and gain confidence as they learn.
Whether you’re interested in STEM challenges, outdoor skills, team-building activities, or specialty programs, our facilitators create experiences that are educational, interactive, and fun.
Facilitated programs are offered at designated times throughout your STEM Experience Center visit and are designed specifically for groups seeking a more structured learning experience.
Groups that add a Facilitated Program Opportunity receive an enhanced field trip experience at a rate of $10 per student.
Add a facilitated program to your visit to maximize engagement, deepen learning, and create lasting memories for your students.
