Field Trips
The Bucks IU's Fab Lab Center offers students an exciting way to explore future careers through immersive Career Awareness Field Trips. Using Oculus VR headsets and the innovative Certify-ED curriculum, students can engage in realistic career simulations that bring a variety of professions to
life. These field trips allow students to step into diverse career environments where they can actively practice skills and experience a day-in-the-life perspective of each career path.
New for 2025: Career Awareness Field Trips*
Thanks to a Manufacturing PA grant from the PA Department of Community and Economic Development, we’re excited to offer middle schools access to this unique career exploration experience, where students can develop skills, expand their career awareness, and gain valuable insights for future
success at no cost. Schools are responsible for transportation to and from the Fab Lab Center and students need to bring a packed lunch.
Transportation a problem? The Fab Lab offers 'Reverse Field Trips' where our team will bring Oculus headsets and other equipment right to your school!
