Space & Science
Field Trips

Blast off into a universe of possibilities with a field trip to Space Foundation Discovery Center!

Designed for K–12 students, our programs use the excitement of space to integrate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) across content areas—preparing students to become the workforce of tomorrow. Complex STEM concepts become more approachable in our informal learning environment, which aligns with NGSS standards and emphasizes hands-on exploration and discovery. Meet our team of educators prepared to give your students the most memorable and impactful learning experiences.

Our field trips are supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, many who have worked in the space industry, giving your students real-world insight into space exploration. Students can engage with interactive exhibits and explore our recently renovated gallery. Field trip activities may include robotics, “junk” engineering, simulated space environments, and other cutting-edge technology designed to inspire curiosity and creativity.

Field trips are available year-round and can be delivered:

  1. In person at the Discovery Center
  2. Virtually through curated online experiences

Programs are open to classroom teachers, schools, educational institutions, and homeschool organizations. We also offer seasonal programs perfect for youth groups, camps, and daycares during summer months.
