Frequently Asked Questions
How many students can visit the bus at a time?
​
30 students at a time will be attending the bus activities. We divide them into two groups and have two activities at the same time. One activity on the bus and one in a classroom at the school.
​
How long is a STEM Bus field trip?
​
We would like to visit your school for a minimum of three 50 minute sessions. This helps us on efficiency of the bus and we get to see more students!
​
What does the school need to do to prepare for a STEM Bus field trip?
​
Before the bus arrives our staff will need a schedule of times for the groups. This can be arranged and sent to Julie Maxfield at our office or with your submission request. Class sessions are 50 minutes for a maximum of 30 students in each session.
​
At least one staff member from the school will need to remain with the groups in order to help shuttle students to and from our two sessions and help us supervise.
​
One activity takes place on the bus, but we will need one classroom/library area to hold our second activity. This room needs sound, a projector, and tables/desks for students.
