Northeastern University
STEM Field Trip Series

Program Details

Northeastern University is proud to offer Field Trip experiences for 4th to 8th grade students throughout the academic year.  The field trip is free of cost; however, schools are expected to provide their own food and transportation.

If you are interested in coming for a field trip, please view our applications page.
Applications for the Fall 2025 – Spring 2026 school year are now open.
Once you apply, we will notify selected schools for Fall field trips in early September, and selected schools for Winter/Spring field trips in early December.

If you have questions regarding the field trip, please email Nicolas Fuchs.
