High- energy technology experiences that take place in your school's parking lot in a Betabox Mobile Tech Lab. These experiences are intended to generate interest and awareness of STEM careers amongst your student population.
As an added effect, many teachers tell us that observing these events rekindles a passion for implementing hands-on learning in the classroom.
Turn your school’s parking lot into a high-tech STEM learning environment with a Betabox Onsite Field Trip.
Choose a topic, pick a date, and sit back as two trained Betabox Guides lead a hands-on STEM project with your students in a mobile tech lab.
Expect 5–6 sessions per day, each approximately 55 minutes long, with up to 25 students per session. Onsite Field Trips are an excellent way to provide school-wide STEM enrichment—without the complexity of taking students off campus.
Show your students how accessible and fun technology can be!
Dr. Marlow of Craven Early College High School praised the partnership with Beatbox for providing hands-on STEM experiences and emphasized that every student deserves equal access to quality education, regardless of their location.
Monica Robinson valued Beatbox for giving students real-world STEM exposure through hands-on activities like cars and drones.
An 8th-grade science teacher from Camden praised Beatbox for providing hands-on STEM learning with drones, autonomous cars, and 3D printing. She noted the team’s impact on student engagement and career inspiration, recommending it for all classrooms.
A STEM instructor at Folks Middle School praised The ROCKS program for boosting student engagement through hands-on experiences with drones, robotics, and smart technology.
A teacher praised Beta box for exciting students and boosting confidence to use existing STEM kits through hands-on activities with drones and robotic cars.
The STEM Tour provided students with a hands-on introduction to tech careers, sparking interest in fields like military, firefighting, and construction, and inspiring the teacher to start a drone club and bring 3D printers to the school.
William Lenore Middle School thanked Betabox for an engaging STEM experience, where students used coding to control micro cars and drones, sparking interest in STEM careers and hoping for future visits.
A physics teacher praised Betabox's visit for engaging students with autonomous vehicles and drones, inspiring them to integrate similar tools and recommending regular visits to enhance learning at their rural school.
Students were engaged duing the whole class. They learned and had a lot of fun at the same time Here in the rural area we don't have opportunities like Berabox, so we are very grateful. We would love to have mire STEM activities in our school. We highly recommend Betabox, it is a great experience for the students.
Onsite Field Trips offer schools a low-lift, evidence-based supplemental STEM solution that can be delivered directly to any school’s parking lot.
A third-party evaluation demonstrated statistically significant increases in STEM interest and content knowledge.
When possible, we can offer Onsite Field Trips at no direct cost through funding partnerships.
Our experiences help bring the standards to life in a hands-on, experiential way.
Our mobile unit is totally self-contained, and our staff are on-site all day to lead the entire experience.
Our dedicated team consists of educators, engineers, and industry professionals who are united by one goal: to make STEM education accessible to all.
Take your Onsite Field Trip to the next level with these valuable add-ons, designed to deepen learning and maximize engagement.
Prepare students for their field trip with pre-lesson materials and reinforce their learning afterward with post-trip lessons. These lessons help students connect the dots between the experience and curriculum goals.
Encourage meaningful reflection with our Fleck Reflection Tool. This interactive platform allows students to document their thoughts, share insights, and solidify key takeaways from the field trip.
Measure the impact of the field trip with pre and post surveys. These tools provide valuable data to assess learning outcomes and gather evidence for reporting and improvement.
While our team is onsite, request teacher trainings on leveling up in stem
After your field trip, get setup on Classbox.com to keep STEM going and get a curated list of lesson plans and supplies to use
Students will learn about self-driving automation through hands-on projects each showcasing an element of autonomous technology. First, students will operate and program Raspberry Pi enabled robot cars using laptops and Scratch-based interfaces. Next, groups will program a robotic arm to learn how real manufacturing companies, like Tesla, build cars on a larger scale.. Finally, students will ponder the ethics of self-driving technology in a group debate..
