Field Trip Ideas 🚍
With limited budgets, great field trip ideas are always appreciated. Feel free to email the tech trainers with more ideas!
iFly STEM field trips for Elementary, Middle School, and High School resources
Here are a few favorites to get the list started:
JPL was a great field trip, but you have to reserve in August/September and you have to submit a list of all those attending 3 weeks ahead of time. Any people not on that list will not be allowed to enter. Currently, they are offering virtual versions. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/tours/views/index.cfm
Here's another science related field trip that looked interesting: Hours & Admission — Columbia Memorial Space Center (columbiaspacescience.org)
