More Than Just A Field Trip
Most museum-based digital content relies on passive sit-and-watch video material which only scratches the surface of student engagement. At the Please Touch Museum, we take a different approach. At the Please Touch Museum, we take a different approach to field trips.
The content in our Field Trip Digital Add-Ons emphasize process-based play, giving children the chance to actively explore and interact with concepts in meaningful ways to prepare them for their field trip and help them make connections when returning back to the classroom. By combining pre-visit preparation, on-site exploration, and post-visit reflection, we ensure every part of your students’ journey is impactful and fun.
What’s Included in Every Package?
- Before The Visit — Preparation: Interactive materials like digital comics and learning games prepare students for their museum visit by introducing key learning concepts for the trip in a fun and engaging way.
- In The Museum — Visit & Play: Hands-on activities and themed programming in our exhibits bring classroom lessons to life, encouraging curiosity and discovery.
- After The Visit — Reflection: Follow-up learning games, activities, and teacher resources to provide opportunities to draw connections back in the classroom.
