STEAM Center Field Trip
Grade: Kindergarten – Grade 5
Cost: $7.50 per student and chaperone. Teachers are free.
Capacity: Maximum 60 students. One adult chaperone is required for every five children.
Where can students use a microscope, play with Oobleck, see butterflies in their growth cycle and observe a life size skeleton? In the Science Lab of The Magic House STEAM Center! And that is just the beginning of a field trip that has something for everyone including our Future Tech experience, Art Studio, Makers Space and LEGO- based Math area. Following free exploration, students collaborate on exciting design challenges that meet GLE’s.
