School field trips, like snow days, have become casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic. But several museums are helping bring the immersive education experience to computers and classrooms across the country.
The Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration recently culled a list of virtual exhibits teachers and families can visit in honor of Black History Month and Presidents Day. The best part? You don’t even have to get on a bus.
Some of the featured exhibits, such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s “African American Artists,” are free to peruse. Others, like the “Underground Railroad Immersive Experience” by the Ohio History Connection, cost a fee.
Here’s your guide to February’s top 10 virtual field trip picks.
