Lab Field Trips

We believe that every student has an innate capacity for exceptional creativity and can become a future inventor. Our lab field trips spark wonder and link school-based learning with the world around each child. Lab field trips are designed to complement your classroom curriculum, and diverse themes enable you to engage your students with the Cade again and again for continually layered educational experiences.

Students will be inspired to think like inventors as they apply core science concepts:

Inventivity Framework – Exploring core content that correlates with CPALMS and NGSS Standards.
Invention – Learning through the lens of invention and innovation, while exploring the lives of visionaries whose inventions have changed our world and continue to improve it.
Exploration – Sparking creativity through hands-on projects and lasting “Make & Takes.”

Fall field trip registration is now open. Spring field trip registration will open October 6.
