Can’t bring your students on an Academy field trip next year? Visit the Academy virtually from your classroom. We have programs that bring our experts, animals, collections, and exhibits to your school over the internet.
Requiring nothing more than a computer with a reliable internet connection, speakers, and a projector, these sessions will bring the Academy collections, animals, and exhibits to your classroom.
