STEM And Skating Are The Perfect Pair
Our STEM field trip program offers education and fun, all rolled into one! Professional STEM educators teach students how math and science can be applied to all aspects of life, including fun activities such as roller skating.
Our lessons are available for grades kindergarten to 12th. They are tailored to your group to relate directly back to their classroom learning. Each field trip includes a 45 minute STEM lesson and then is followed by 2 hours of roller skating and/or playground fun! This time allows the students to see the principles discussed during the lesson in motion and gives them some healthy exercise for an added physical education bonus.
