In-School Field Trips/Hands-on Workshops


We bring the excitement and education of a science museum directly into the classroom!

  • In-school science workshops that move from classroom-to-classroom in 45-60 minute sessions

  • Hands-on science programs: tactile and kinesthetic learning

  • A ton of themes complementing the Science Standards for your county or curriculum based on grade level

  • Book one grade at a time or the entire school, with sessions across multiple days as needed

  • Perfect for Elementary School, Middle School, High School, Montessori and Pre K.
