This free virtual field trip experience is offered by the Gates Foundation Discovery Center. The focus of this program on social-emotional learning allows for its integration into courses across disciplines, including science. This program invites students to make connections between their individual and collective experiences of COVID-19 by engaging, reflecting, and responding to media in the context of COVID-19, including health disparities. Students will reflect on the inequitable impacts of the pandemic, as well as engage in self-reflection through writing and drawing.

​

This free virtual field trip program takes 50 – 60 minutes. Resources for extension activities are available on the program website. Live captioning is available through Microsoft TEAMS meeting platform. An ASL interpreter can be arranged with a minimum advance notice of two weeks.
