STEM Field Trips Spring,
2019 Semester
1. National Gallery of Art
February 12, 2019
Washington, D.C.
Students will learn how STEM and Art complement each other. They will learn how new art forms are created by STEM applications as well as how STEM enables the study of Art in more detailed ways. Students will also be able to see the special exhibit of the works of Gordon Parks.
2. Science Discovery Day at University of District of Columbia
March 8, 2019
Washington, D.C.
Science Discovery Day is a wonderful opportunity for Middle School Students in the Washington, D.C area to participate in a workshop series guided by college professors, students and other professionals in the Science Community. Students will learn and actively engage in how to investigate topics related to Life Science, Physical Science and Engineering.
3. NIH, National Library of Medicine
April 10, 2019
Bethesda, MD
Students will receive an overview of the work NIH does. An NIH scientist will discuss their specific research with the students and include hands-on activities. The visit will conclude with a walking tour of the National Library of Medicine.

Percy Julian Institute STEM Field Trips
Fall, 2018 Semester
Smithsonian Museum of African Art
Washington, DC
Date: October 23,2018
Activities: The Museum is preparing a specially customized STEAM (STEM + the Arts) tour. Students will be able to examine objects and learn about the ideas that impacted African art as well as how artistic ideas that originated in Africa impact work elsewhere. They will learn how STEM concepts play an important role in creating and developing these ideas, how STEM enables new art forms, and how STEM is used to preserve and authenticate art. The purpose of the visit is to show how STEM and Art can and should be used to complement and enhance each other as well as to show that not only do STEM and Art co-exist but they also can thrive together.

Howard University Hospital Trauma Center
Washington, DC
Date: October 25, 2018
Activities: The Division of Trauma and Critical Care will provide an opportunity for students to tour trauma center, shadow those with their respective professional interests, ask questions about their work (schooling, pros and cons, etc.), and have a first-hand experience with a mock trauma code. This experience will enable students to focus on events after violence has occurred. This program gives a visual to the students of what it means to be a trauma care provider or patient in the hospital - observing patients at each interval of care from initial contact to discharge and ultimately rehabilitation.

Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, Udvar-Hazy Center
Chantilly, VA
Date: October 30, 2018
Activities:
a) Mission to Mars- Students will explore the climate and geology of Mars, along with the challenges of robotic exploration in space. They will work as mission design teams and use budget and science guidelines from NASA to create a spacecraft to fly to Mars.
b) McDonnell Space Hangar Highlights- Students will explore the Space Shuttle Discovery and other space artifacts to trace our history, science, and technology in space.
