School Field Trips
Take STEM Learning Outside of the Classroom!
Field Trips are the best way to fully explore all that Imagination Station has to offer. Unfortunately, schools don’t often have the flexibility of time, equipment and/or consumables to facilitate hands-on experiments in the classroom. That’s where Imagination Station comes in.
Our merging of educational styles, formal and informal, helps to drive home the concepts that you deliver in the classroom. Plus, all of our educational programs are aligned with state standards in both Ohio and Michigan - helping you meet grade-level requirements.
The best part is that students love to visit and they have so much fun they forget they're learning!
