Educational Road Trips for Curious Families
Explore America250 with family-friendly itineraries, QR code challenges, and stops that teach.
From Sea to Shining Sea is an independent initiative by HB3 Consulting and Advisory. I'm building learning-infused road trips for families to celebrate America’s 250th birthday and beyond.
Each itinerary contains a series of stops to guide your exploration, as well as a few features to guide learning on your way:
1. Learning Sparks:
-
Short, engaging prompts or questions at a stop that sparks curiosity and invites kids (and adults) to observe, think, or imagine in a playful way.
-
Functions to "set up" a location and generate conversation before entry to a site. Can also help guide kids toward what they should pay attention to.
2. Content for the Road:
-
Quick, location-specific learning prompts and resources you can use while visiting a site (or on your way to it) to deepen the experience in real time.
3. Campsite Content:
-
Hands-on or reflective activities designed for relaxed settings, encouraging deeper exploration of a theme after the day’s travels.
