We welcome requests for Spring 2026.
Geared to middle, high school, college students, and their teachers, Biotechnology Field Trips are designed as a 1 to 5 hour visit to the BTC Institute in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Supported by instructors, a fully-equipped molecular biology laboratory, and ample time, students are able to immerse themselves in the concepts of biotechnology and apply those concepts by learning hands-on techniques. While students are waiting on incubations, instructors will provide background information and real-world connections.
Depending on which experience(s) you select, fees range from $6/student to $14/student per lab. Our labs have a maximum capacity of 64 students at a time – 32 in each of our two teaching labs. We are happy to work with larger groups in multiple shifts throughout the day and/or week depending on the lab! Some of the field trips can also be taught in an On The Road format and brought to your school, or to any suitable classroom space for an additional fee.
For longer experiences or visits that take place around lunch, we can reserve classroom space for your group to eat. We do not have meal facilities on-site; group organizers may wish to order food for delivery or have students bring a packed lunch.
