New York
The ultimate classroom without walls where science meets creativity, engineering meets imagination and every day brings a new discovery.
New York is more than a famous skyline. It is a living laboratory where science, technology, engineering and design shape everyday life. From skyscrapers and transport systems to medical research, robotics aerospace and digital innovation, students experience how STEM connects directly to the real world.
For GSCE and A level students this trip brings classroom topics to life through hands -on workshops, real engineering achievements and inspiring city experiences.
Build, test and explore through interactive robotics, engineering and maker activities. Stand beneath the space shuttle enterprise and explore the engineering behind flight and space travel. See how architecture, public space and sustainable design are transforming New York.
More than a museum trip, New York offers a balanced mix of learning, teamwork, exploration and memorable New York moments for all group sizes. Students will return home, with not only photos and memories but with a clearer understanding of how STEM skills are used in the real world and how they could be part of shaping the future!
