Florida
Our STEM Discovery tour to Florida begins at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, offering inspiring exhibits and hands-on experiences. On guided tours into exclusive areas, your students will benefit from a behind-the-scenes look at Kennedy Space Center's working space flight facilities.
Students will then have the unique opportunity to discover the science involved in creating the world’s most technologically advanced theme park with our 2-day Hopper pass at Universal Studios. The “Behind-the-Adventure masterclass” showcases the physics, technology, mathematics and engineering that went into designing and building this state-of-the-art theme park. The 3-hour Master Class begins 1-hour before the theme park opens and allows for access to areas of the park unavailable to the general public. On each of our 2 days at the park, after our guided masterclass, the days are yours to have fun in two of the most incredible theme parks in America – Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
At the Orlando Science Center, school groups are automatically signed up for Forensic Lab with our Florida Physics Master Class. Discover how techniques such as chromatography, blood typing and facial composite computer software have changed the world of crime solving. See how forensic scientists use biology, physics and chemistry in the field of criminology. Advanced Chemistry Lab and Advanced Biology Lab are also available!
And finally, your group will experience an evening like no other at Wonderworks, an amusement park for the mind, combining education and entertainment in over 100 hands-on exhibits for students of all ages. Students will feel 65-mph hurricane force winds, be shaken by a 5.3 earthquake, play virtual sports, land the space shuttle, fly a fighter jet, and design and ride their own roller coaster – all before dinner!
