ATLANTA, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home
Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer,
today announced the new educational video series Virtual Field
Trips will be added to its digital DIY workshops library, where
Home Depot suppliers will provide kid-friendly, behind-the-scenes
tours and insights into how products come to life and, eventually,
make it to the retailer's shelves.
Our Virtual Field Trips provide fun, exclusive tours, curated
specifically for young doers.
"Learning looks significantly different this year as parents
search for new ways to teach and entertain at home," says
Lisa DeStefano, vice president of
brand marketing and creative for The Home Depot. "Starting with
Bonnie Plants in October and Back to
the Roots in November, our Virtual Field Trips provide fun,
exclusive tours, curated specifically for young doers. From plant
genetics to supply chain, we've broken down these stages into
creative, interactive, digestible videos with accompanying DIY
projects that bring the excitement of traditional field trips to
family households."
The Home Depot is set to expand its partnership with Discovery
Education in spring 2021 to bring more digital resources and
projects to its Science Fair Central platform. Originally launched
in 2017, Science Fair Central has provided over two million
educators and students with STEAM project starters, information on
scientific processes, material checklists and more. Discovery
Education is the global leader in standards-aligned digital
curriculum resources, engaging content and professional learning
for K-12 classrooms. This upcoming expanded partnership further
deepens The Home Depot's support of the country's youngest doers
since the launch of its monthly kids workshops more than 20 years
ago.
For access to the Virtual Field Trips, hundreds of
family-friendly projects - from creating a cardboard box playhouse
to making a solar oven – and other resources for kids, visit
