I can tell by reading your post that you are passionate about both learning, and teaching. Sounds like the Museum of Flight was a fascinating experience!
Yes, Candi! Sharing the excitement with the kiddos sparks their own interest, questions, and desire to learn more. Love it!❤️
Take care!

I love visiting museums, especially ones that look as fun and interesting as this! I’m sure every student would love a virtual experience. I hope that can happen!
Thanks, Christa! I’m working on the virtual trip. I’m certain it will be just as amazing. At least a great intro for an in person stop where kids can visit with their family. 👍🏼
Thanks for stopping by!

I am sure kids had a blast with the trip, it is educative and entertaining at the same time.
You bet, Ina! Although my kiddos will have a virtual experience, any trip here would be both educational and FUN!!!

What a fun field trip! both of my girls are in a STEMS program at school and we love it!
Kristi, how exciting for your girls to participate in a STEM program!! Education has certainly changed from our days. There are lots of new opportunities to inspire learning for students!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

I haven’t been to Boeing for years, looks like it would be fun to do again.
Yes, Melissa!! This is totally worth a visit!! Let me know when you get there and about your experience.
Take care,

This would be a great field trip! Good call!
Thanks, Gail! Yes, an in person trip would be totally amazing! Can you imagine the excitement?!?
Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you are able to get this for your students…it looks like a great teaching/learning activity!
Thanks, Michele! I’m working on the virtual aspect. Although a personal experience would be best, not quite practical from Alaska. Kids love the learning!!

Looks like a great place to visit. We always look for places on trips that will be educational as well as fun!
Awesome, Pam!! This is certainly a place to add to your list. What other places would you recommend??

My best childhood friend worked for Boeing for many years. Her husband worked for JPL and helped build the Mars Rovers. I honestly believe that if they hadn’t had opportunities like this, they would never have gotten into their lines of work! Thank you for sharing this!
Hello Rachel, I agree. Many kids don’t know which direction to head after high school. Providing a variety of experiences helps kids figure it out.
Have a great day!

This looks like such a fun STEM activity. Such a great interactive trip!
Hello Anitra, yes engaging students in hands on learning sparks excitement!! Thanks for stopping by.
