"Summer Road Trip” is a new 40-page activity guide that uses the vast collections and expertise of the Smithsonian to take learners on their own summer “road trip” of discovery. Through hands-on activities, puzzles and games, students will explore topics in STEM, history, and the arts. The guide features bilingual Spanish/English language content. “Summer Road Trip” uses the theme of a road trip and iconic collections from Smithsonian to connect activities across disciplines. Learners are encouraged to let their minds wander and embark on a road trip to the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C., making stops along the way to visit an artist’s gallery, explore local cuisine, learn about the local wildlife, and much more.
