The Society routinely takes trips to various locations for ‘hands-on’ activities and to learn about opportunities not available in other places.

In February of 2006 the ODU Chapter visited the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in  Greenbank, WV.

The Society offers opportunities to learn outside of the classroom, including Nitrogen demonstrations and conference support.
