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:
- In person at the Discovery Center
- 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.
