Field Trips To Go

We’re doing what we can to make school feel more “normal” for your classroom this year. If you can’t bring your students to us, we’ll bring the Museum’s brand of experiential learning to you – through a virtual field trip using our Field Trips To Go program.

  • Flexible to meet your schedule
  • Aligned with common core and next generation science learning standards
  • Designed with active learning in mind

Take a sneak peek at what we’ve got to offer in this preview video:

For the 2020-21 school year, we’re offering 6 different Field Trip To Go topics for your classes, with three different delivery options to suit your individual needs.
