We believe that every student has the innate ability to be exceptionally creative and become a future inventor. Our Field Trips spark wonder and link school-based learning with the world that surrounds each child. Field Trips are designed to complement your 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:
- Pillars of Science – 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.”
The below for field trip options for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. Registration opens for Fall 2021 on July 5th and for Spring 2022 on October 4th.
