NASA Trips – The Educational Tours For Students

In the education space today, the concept of educational tours has gained immense popularity. With more and more schools being inclined towards educational tours to the US including NASA Trips, we discuss some points how educational tours with Atlantis are a unique experience, and how our NASA Tours are unlike any other NASA Trips.


Soft-Skill Education through Educational Tours

We believe that travel is an integral part of education. Students learn more through engaging in activities than through reading and writing. With this vision in mind, our NASA tours are full of exceptional, top quality educational content. NASA is known to be the hub of most Space Science activities. NASA trips serve as a source of motivation and inspiration to the young minds. Our trips focus on developing team building and leadership skills amongst students. They help in building self-confidence and above all, keep the spirit of inquiry alive.


STEM education through NASA tours

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) education promotes the education in these four disciplines through an interdisciplinary approach which is experiential and applied in nature. Educational Tours at Atlantis are designed under expert supervision to promote this goal of education. Our NASA Trips are not just visits to the NASA centers, but we engage our students in specialized camps and workshops on Rocketry, Robotics and Near Space Investigation. These programs use innovative technologies and ideas with the background of space exploration to make the most of their experience.
These workshops are the most engaging and mentally stimulating part of their NASA Trips, as students plan, experiment, test their designs, analyze and infer results, and see their ideas turn to reality in action.

Importance of International School Trips


Importance of International School Trips:
While the concept of educational tours is not new in Indian schools, International School trips have gained tremendous popularity in the last decade. With increased emphasis on experiential learning, more and more schools want to engage their students in an educational tour experience. It is a great way to engage students in meaningful recreational activities while keeping in vision the goal of education.
Moving into the Real World
International school trips give students an opportunity to explore new destinations, cultures, languages, cuisine, and whole new life-styles which they have not seen before. It gives them the much-needed exposure to the world. This goes a long way in building a strong personality as an educational tour gives them a broader understanding of different perspectives and an appreciation of the same. It broadens their horizons and makes them truly global citizens.
Reinforcement of Classroom Learning
Most educators agree that it is challenging to hold a child’s attention in a classroom setting. Educational tour provide a perfect setting for an informal learning environment. While on educational tours, students develop the appreciation for subjects like History and Languages, in a much-heightened way than what the reading of any book can accomplish. Moreover, students learn more on such international school trips because of the fun environment they have in contrast to the school building where they are bogged down by exam performances and results.
Hands-on Learning
Educational tours use a variety of learning methods and thus are an indispensable tool of education. Students are likely to retain more information about a satellite when they hear it from a NASA scientist as compared to hearing it in the classroom. Visits to Science Centers, Nature Museums, industry visits and many such educational tours provide a platform for hands-on learning. Students can also enroll themselves in science camps or adventure tours. Read More:
