STEM Tours
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math travel is a great way to connect student travel experiences with your school’s STEM education plans. Through hands-on projects and real-world experiences, students will gain tangible skills and meaningful learning experiences. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. And together they make up a popular and fast-growing industry. Most STEM workers use computers and other technology in their day-to-day jobs.
