Philosophy
Field trips have been shown to promote learning among all age levels and provide for a break in the normal flow of education that can stimulate students to think differently about the subject matter. Unfortunately, for many schools, quality field trips are difficult to arrange whether it be for monetary reasons, a lack of time to dedicate to a full day field trip, or no suitable locations to take students.
I feel that with current technology, students should have access to a field trip where they can interact with a subject matter expert, ask questions, or even interact with the location itself.
