Virtual Field Trip Reservation Form
About virtual field trips
For the fall 2020 semester, we are unable to host traditional school field trips. However, we have an innovative new solution that allows us to stream the planetarium to YOU, using the same Nightshade NG planetarium software that we use in our facility. The virtual planetarium field trip is a 30-45 minute presentation, hosted live by one of our trained planetarium educators who is able to guide you through the lesson and interact with you and your students just as if you were visiting us in person. The cost for the virtual field trip is a single flat fee of $25 for a 30-45 minute lesson for a maximum of 50 participants (either joining us from their classroom, or from multiple locations such as students doing at-home learning or home school). If you have any questions about the virtual field trip process, we have posted an educator's guide on our website that should answer most of your questions. You may also call us at 903-510-2312 or email sciencecenter@tjc.edu.

Requirements for virtual field trips
Some institutions have restrictions on the type of video conference/streaming platforms they are allowed to use. Currently, virtual field trips will require the use of Zoom to stream the lesson. Participants in the virtual field trip will need a stable internet connection and access to at least one computer or device that is capable of streaming both video and audio on the Zoom platform. For those who are unable to use the Zoom platform or who would prefer to not have a live-interactive field trip, we have the option to create a pre-recorded video tailored to your class or event needs.
Are you able to meet the requirements for a live virtual field trip?
*
Yes, I have a stable internet connection, and the ability to use the Zoom platform at my school/institution or at home for a live and interactive field trip.
I have the ability to use Zoom, but would prefer a pre-recorded program instead
No, I am unable to meet the internet/device requirements for Zoom, and/or my institution does not allow the use of Zoom for video conferencing, but I am interested in a pre-recorded video tailored to my content objectives.
