Since its inception in 2000, the Anaheim Ducks have hosted the First Flight field trip. Each year, over 16,000 students and teachers are invited to the Honda Center to participate in the STEM event, encouraging kids to take an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.
This even includes hands-on exhibits, workbooks, and other activities. The students will have the opportunity to be taught by hockey experts, which includes both the players and coaches of the Anaheim Ducks. This year’s theme is a very intriguing one indeed: Build a Better Puck.
Over the course of the field trip, students will be inspired to think about the engineering process behind one of the most important pieces of equipment in the game, the hockey puck.
