STEM Field Trips

Take your class on an adventure of scientific exploration!

Let us take over your lesson plan for the day, giving your class a taste of Anderson University and STEM at the college level. This free, full-day experience includes a tour of our state-of-the art Engineering Center, two hands-on lab sessions, lunch, and quality time with professors and current students within AU’s School of Science and Engineering.

Along with using our high-tech lab equipment, your class will choose the STEM track that best fits their interest for the day: computer science, physics, engineering, biology, chemistry, or pre-med.

Our students greatly enjoyed the visit. More importantly, they had the opportunity for extended immersion on a college campus and came to better understand what their futures may hold.
