All NCHS STEM students must complete a total of 8 field experiences as part of their STEM Graduation requirements.
STEM field (trip) experiences involve visiting companies, research institutions, museums, or other venues relevant to STEM disciplines. These outings offer unique advantages:
Broad Exposure: Field experiences expose students to a variety of STEM-related environments and workplaces, showcasing the diversity of career options within the STEM spectrum.
Interactive Learning: Students engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and demonstrations that bring abstract STEM concepts to life.
Team Building: Field experiences may involve group activities, promoting teamwork, collaboration, and communication among students.
Contextual Learning: Students see how STEM concepts are applied in real-world settings, enhancing their understanding and motivation to study these subjects.
Inspiration: Field experiences inspire students by exposing them to cutting-edge technologies, breakthrough research, and innovative projects.
Here are the upcoming field experiences! Please check these slides frequently as opportunities are added all the time.
