STEM Field Trips
Discover the Ultimate STEM Field Trip in Rocky Mount, NC!
Looking for a STEM field trip that’s both educational and unforgettable?
Sky-Vue Skateland in Rocky Mount offers an exciting twist on learning where STEM meets motion! Our 3-hour private STEM field trip experience blends interactive science lessons with the thrill of roller skating—right inside our roller rink. Our STEM curriculum aligns with the North Carolina Science Standards and is thoughtfully designed for both elementary students (grades 1–5) and middle school students (grades 6–8).
We kick things off with a one-hour STEM lesson taught by a dynamic educator who shows students how science, technology, engineering, and math come to life in a skating environment. Students participate in a series of interactive learning stations that bring STEM to life and show how it applies to the world around them.
Then it’s time to move! Students enjoy two hours of roller skating with a basic learn-to-skate lesson, their choice of quad or inline skates, and skate mates for added balance and confidence. We’ll play skating games that reinforce science concepts, are fun to play, and improve their skating skills.
Sky-Vue Skateland welcomes groups of 50 or more students for this private event. You’re welcome to bring your school lunch, or choose an upgraded package with lunch included—it’s field trip planning made simple!

Sky-Vue Skateland has a variety of lesson plans tailored to different principles and age groups that teach kids about:
- The science of roller skating (friction, geometry, area, and perimeter)
- Motion and rink design (force/friction, diameter/circumference)
- Music, math, and skating (beats per minute, frequency, and speed)
- Acoustics and rink design (sound system design, frequency, path of sound)
- Engineering magic and lighting (types of light, lighting design)
- Physical fitness (1 hour of STEM education and 2 hours of fitness through roller-skating!)
Go beyond the textbook and bring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to life with a field trip to Sky-Vue Skateland.
Students can experience our unique, hands-on learning opportunity that transforms our roller skating rink into an interactive STEM classroom.
