Field Trips

We recommend that you explore our exhibits before your visit to identify some of the activities that will interest your students. Featured experiences for this school year:

Bring Your Group to Imaginate

February 4 through April 29

Imaginate combines creativity with science and turns imagination into innovation.

Imagine. Get inspired. How much lift can you generate by flapping a pair of artificial wings? Can you turn random sounds into music? Is it possible to visualize your heartbeat? Let Imaginate grip your passions and inspire your next big ideas.

Innovate. Be a Scientist. Did you know that 3-D technology is over 150 years old and keeps getting better with recent inventions? How would you design an ambulance to traverse rugged terrain? Test your hypothesis, tweak your method, try it again ... and invent the future.
