Our newest way to supplement your student’s learning is through a STEMventure – an outdoor STEM based activity that encourages play! STEMventures are located throughout our STEM Experience Center campus and while they are intended for teachers and students to engage with independently, a guide will be provided to escort your group between field trip locations
and ensure safety guidelines are being met.
Jump, bounce and study the effects of gravity and motion as you try to get higher and higher!
Study angles, trajectory, and velocity by trying our our archery, air rifles or slingshot ranges.
Racers, start your engines, because this is a great spot to learn more about simple machines, automotive engineering and motorsport.
Learn different ways on how to build a bike, then test it out on our paved or mountain bike trails.
Work on your sports badges as you practice your climbing skills.
