What is STEM?
Science. Technology. Engineering. Mathematics.
STEM is an interdisciplinary approach to education in which four main educational areas - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math - are focused on and applied to real-world scenarios. STEM education is of extreme importance in today's workforce and education spaces.
STEM education aims to immerse students into learning through hands-on activities and learning experiences, rather than teach them in the classroom from a book. That's why STEM-based field trips are our favorites to plan for student groups! These types of field trips can take place in science centers, natural history museums, state and national parks, factories, and many other common attractions found in most cities.
Some of our most STEM friendly locations include Huntsville, Chicago, San Diego, and Washington D.C, though we can typically find STEM-based curriculum centered attractions in any major city!
The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating your perfect STEM-based field trip, but we are here to help get you started with our attraction suggestions below.
