Field Trips

Field Trips are our chance to get out and see how things work. We visit plants, museums, factories, and local landmarks around the Bay Area, and we usually get a guided tour from someone who knows the place inside out.

Most trips are a couple of hours on a weekday morning. Each trip lists when and where to meet, the cost if there is one, and how much walking to expect. Tours have limited group sizes, so please register ahead of time.

Ever wonder what happens after you flush?

A guided tour of Silicon Valley Clean Water, the plant that handles it all, 24/7, no exceptions. The tour covered where wastewater comes in, the digesters at work, and why a plant that looks modest from outside turns out to be massive once you are inside.
