SANTA BARBARA, CA, USA, March 31, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Santa Barbara, California, March 25, 2020—Maps.com is providing a solution for teachers and parents to provide at-home students with engaging virtual field trips. The Space Exploration Field Trip is just one of the many offered, where youthful imagination coupled with a virtual guide can take the student to faraway places. In follow up to publishing COVID-19 tracking maps, the Maps101 digital classroom is now free to anyone, for the first time, for unlimited use and will remain so through April 30, 2020.

Despite being restricted to their homes to help us beat COVID-19, students can continue to learn and discover their world using the digital tools and resources provided by Maps101. Whether students participate on their own or as part of an online group, the experience will replace cabin fever with enrichment. Each field trip travels through an interactive map which takes students on a journey discovering significant milestones and landmarks for each topic.

The Field Trip Library covers a variety of K-12 subject areas that fascinate students, and the Space Exploration Field Trip is a great example. Humans have dreamed of space as an extension of the exploration of our environment. Whether seeking new hunting areas or just out of curiosity, the drive to see what’s over the next hill seems to be part of our nature. Maps101’s content allows students to fulfill that drive from wherever they are, providing the precious freedom of exploration in the face of any conditions causing students to be at home.
