STEM Field Trips for Schools, Scouts, and Community Groups!
A unique educational experience that gets students excited about learning! Students will learn how the concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math can be found in everyday experiences, even fun experiences like roller skating!
Our professional STEM Educators, teach visiting students about how STEM principles exist in just about every part of life. The lessons focus on hands on activities that are both educational and fun! Following the completion of the 45-60 minute STEM lesson, students roller skate for physical fitness. While roller skating, the concepts the students learned are continually reinforced. We have Seven Lessons to choose from, and each can be customized for your grade level.

Science of Skating
Science of Skating
Students will learn about the parts of a roller skate and how each part functions to make the skate. They will discuss how surfaces in the rink are made of different materials and how that affects the skate in motion. Students will have a chance to showcase their creativity and design a new feature for a skate.
Great for all grade levels.
Younger students (K-1) may need some additional support using skate tools to reverse engineer the roller skate.
