Read Digital Field Trips to the Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon is one of Arizona's most well-known tourist attractions. People from all over the world visit this natural wonder every year. It is also a popular field trip for students living close enough to make the journey. For some, though, visiting the Grand Canyon is not easy and is certainly not possible for a field trip. Students living hundreds of miles away may never have the opportunity to visit this world-class destination. That is, until recently. Due to a new program created by the National Park Service, students from all over the world are now able to experience the Grand Canyon. They visit the park through digital field trips.

In the past, programs at the park focused on those for physical visitors to the park. To improve access, the park has unveiled a permanent Virtual Studio for Kids to help the "visit" the park. Improvements in green-screen technology have allowed the park to make high quality videos. These videos make students feel like they are right there in the park. Though education programs have been limited for years, students are now able to connect with experts in the park. These experts include park rangers, scientists, geologists, and other experts. Students can now directly ask questions. They can now learn about the Grand Canyon by talking to the professionals that know it best.

A major reason that students from across America and the world have been unable to visit the Grand Canyon is the high cost of taking a field trip to Arizona. Teachers in states like New York would have to organize accommodation, travel, and food for students, resulting in an expensive field trip that many schools and students simply cannot afford. The National Park Service has thought of this too. It now offers five different, free interactive presentations for different age ranges. Teachers just need to sign up early in order to secure their spot for this digital field trip. Students can now visit the Grand Canyon from anywhere in the world.
