Join the Stanford Accelerator for Learning for a one-day workshop to learn everything you need to know to launch a Virtual Field Trip (VFT) creation project with your students next school year.

Use place-based learning and technology to engage students in creating immersive VFTs that showcase their science understanding and reasoning. Choose a ready-made VFT project about the carbon cycle, ecosystem interactions, or climate change indicators — or create your own! No fancy tech required; all you need is a browser with an internet connection.

This workshop is intended for 5th-10th grade science educators interested in exploring new methods of teaching and learning. Participants will receive a VFT platform account and all the support and skills needed for a virtual field trip creation project.

Register by October 16th to reserve your spot.
