Each year the North Carolina Zoo welcomes students from a wide range of backgrounds with many different needs. To better reach all audiences and to enhance school fieldtrips we built an app with self-guided experiences (e.g., virtual guides, audio description, and standard aligned content) that allows anyone to experience the Zoo in the way they choose. Join us to explore the app and see how to use it on your free fieldtrip to the Zoo.
