Mrs. Lively’s First Graders Take a Virtual Field Trip with Amazon Future Engineer

Mrs. Lively’s first-grade class recently participated in a virtual field trip through the Amazon Future Engineer program, where they explored how Amazon Fulfillment Centers operate. Students learned how technology and people work together to move packages from online orders to homes around the world.

This was a pilot activity to see if it might be a good fit to share with other classes and Mrs. Lively’s students were the perfect test group! They were engaged, attentive, and excited to see how real-world technology connects to what they learn in school.
