Be Your School's In a Box Field Trip Super Hero - No Bus Required!
Let us deliver the field trip fun to your classroom!
"This program was an amazing way for us to virtually visit the Capitol. We got to see and experience things we never would have if we had gone in person. The t-shirt and Arlie were such nice souvenirs for the students to keep to remind them of their trip."
- Teacher, Dallas, TX
Your students will learn everything they would on a traveling field trip through TEKS-based tours of important Texas sites, games and activities, and online resources. Each participant will receive their own box to keep with an "I Discovered Texas" t-shirt, field trip mascot plushy, virtual travel research journal, and other fun trip souvenirs! An optional content-based writing component to supplement the TEKS your learners are working to master for the STAAR test is also included.
