What We Do
Outdoor STEM Adventures provides customized, immersive, outdoor, in-school field trips in central North Carolina for 3rd-5th grade Students.
We go Outdoors because every kid has access to the engineering lab we call nature.
We focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) because no matter what you want to do when you grow up, learning how to solve problems, challenge your assumptions and learning how to see wonder in everyday activities is a game changer.
We do adventures because at OSA, we want to provide experiences in which the whole body participates in learning.
The Outdoor STEM Adventures curricula are Aligned to the NC Essential Standards for Science.
Our In-School Adventures
OSA in-school adventures are constructed to fill three 50 minute class periods. These class
periods are usually spread out over a one to two week period with the entire grade level
participating. These curricula are tightly aligned to the NC Science Standards and serve to
provide supplementary educational experiences. It is our hope that these shared experiences
will provide for robust classroom discussion in which 100% of the class can participate.

Outdoor STEM Adventures is an amazing experience for students! The presentation of material was perfect as things were explained perfectly for students to understand. The grand finale of the water rocket was awesome and the kids were completely blown away! Planning this trip was effortless and the cost was extremely reasonable! We will continue using Outdoor STEM Adventures for as long as our curriculum allows!

My third graders absolutely loved the Outdoor STEM Adventures field trip! They were engaged and interested in both the activities and the content. Every student was able to participate and they were able to make real life connections to what they learn in school. They are already asking for another adventure!

Eric Hanson's program does an amazing job of teaching complex scientific principles as relatable ideas our kids can really process & understand. My son loves the challenging experiments and fun activities, and I especially love all the learning styles they use -- visual, auditory, physical, social... any type of kid can get something out of this program
