In today's educational landscape, fostering meaningful connections between students, educators, and the broader community is paramount for enhancing learning experiences. This conference proposal aims to explore innovative approaches to incorporating field trips, outreach programs, and community partnerships to enrich students' understanding of science and engineering practices. By bringing hands-on experiences into the classroom and engaging with local experts and organizations, students can develop essential skills while connecting their learning to real-world applications. We will introduce educators and specialists to effective strategies for integrating field trips, outreach initiatives, and community partnerships into the curriculum. We will highlight the benefits of hands-on experiences in fostering science and engineering practices among students.
