School Field Trips 

Shiva Robotics Academy regularly hosts field trips for school groups of all ages. Trips provide an opportunity for students to learn about Robotics, to meet and interact with a scientist or engineer, and to personally explore scientific facts through our hands-on exhibits and activities.

Shiva Robotics Academy is conveniently located on Beach Blvd, at the junction where Hogan road meets Beach Blvd, very close to Parental Home Road.  It is a very bright yellow stand-alone building on the service road. Our facility has a prominent sign board to help your field trip bus find us easily.

Shiva Robotics Academy ( SHIVA ) Field Trip
Frequently Asked Questions


What are the dates/times SHIVA could host a field trip?
SHIVA is available on any weekday as long as our calendar is clear.

What will be the cost to my school for a visit?
We offer field trips starting at $35/student. There is discount for larger group sizes and non-profit organizations.  Checks can be made payable to 'Shiva Robotics Academy'.  You can save the preferred field trip date by paying an upfront deposit of $100.
​
How much notice must I give you?
Several weeks' notice is typical, but short notice is often possible. In the spring we host several trips a week, so earlier notice gives you better date selection.

How long does a typical visit last?
We recommend a minimum visit of 1 hours. 1.5 hour is the most common visit length (For additional $5, students can bring along brown bag lunch and spend 30 min lunch time at our facility).

How many adult chaperones should we bring?
The more chaperones($10/adult) the better as far as SHIVA is concerned. We've noticed that students tend to extract more value from field trips in the presence of friendly adult guidance and focusing. SHIVA requests roughly one adult for every ten students. Chaperones need not possess technical backgrounds.

What sorts of things will we do on the visit?
The standard field trip components are a welcome and introduction, some hands-on building and programming time in small team sizes and a discussion about Robotics from one of our instructors. We welcome suggestions for maximizing connections to your science teaching.

How can I connect a SHIVA field trip to my classroom instruction?
SHIVA activity cuts across many science, math and engineering disciplines. Our major themes are simple machines, force, energy, laws of motion, architecture and the nature of scientific discovery. Our exhibits and activities provide opportunities to address a variety of science standards.

What can I do to help students engage strongly with SHIVA?
The "SHIVA Explorer" field trip packet that students will receive at SHIVA will help guide the students through the hands-on exhibits and activities. Please consider making the packet a class assignment. Students who realize the need to respond to the questions in the packet generally process the exhibits more successfully.

Won't your science go over the heads of my students?
We strive to design field trips that match the levels and backgrounds of our guests. Hands-on explorations with our exhibits and activities allow students to build a visual and tactile framework for interpreting the science of Robotics.

OK, you've talked me into it. How do I schedule a trip?
Call us at 904 704 7046 or send an email to build@shivarobotics.com. We would be pleased to host a visit from your class!
