Linking Classroom Learning with Unique Hands-On Experiences
Through hands-on lab projects and conceptual immersion with our exhibits, your students will be inspired to think like inventors as they apply these core science concepts:
Pillars of Science - Exploring core content that correlates with CPALMS and NGSS standards.
Invention - Learning through the lens of invention and innovation, while exploring the lives of visionaries whose inventions have changed our world and continue to improve it.
Exploration - Sparking creativity through hands-on projects and lasting “Make and Takes.”

Field Trips
We believe that every student has the innate ability to be exceptionally creative and become a future inventor, so our Field Trips spark wonder and link school-based learning with the world that surrounds each child. Field Trips are designed to complement your curriculum, and diverse themes enable you to engage your students with the Cade again and again for continually layered educational experiences.
In addition to Field Trips to the Cade Museum, we now offer immersive experiences in your school and classroom or virtually. For schools that are unable to visit The Cade, our Cade educators will come to you to provide a unique learning opportunity in person or on-screen. Either way, we can provide the supplies needed to engage your students in powerful hands-on learning.
For the 2020-2021 season, the Cade Museum is offering many field trip options to excite and engage students and teachers alike.
