A City Council grant will fund free field trips to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum for thousands of students at local Title I schools.

The $350,000 funding, allocated by Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Council Member Chi Ossé, aims to provide hands-on, immersive learning opportunities that complement the lessons kids are learning in the classroom.

“Field trips are a vital part of our students’ education, sparking curiosity and expanding their learning beyond the classroom,” Adams said in a statement. “With this investment, the Council is ensuring that more Brooklyn public school students, especially those from low-income families, have free access to the hands-on educational opportunities that Brooklyn Children’s Museum provides.”
