Discovery Education Launches New Virtual Trips, Supports Manufacturing Day

Discovery Education is enhancing its offerings for educators and students this year. It has launched new virtual field trips, updated career resources, and continues to support Manufacturing Day. The company's Career Connect platform allows teachers to invite industry professionals to their classrooms virtually.

Discovery Education Experience offers a range of resources, including career profile videos featuring professionals from various sectors. These have been recently updated to provide the most relevant and engaging content for students.

One notable addition is the virtual field trip 'Forging Innovation: A Mission Possible', premiering on October 9, 2025. This immersive experience explores the world of steel manufacturing and engineering, thanks to partnerships with Nucor and the STEM Careers Coalition. Another upcoming virtual trip, 'Careers at Sea and Shore', delves into marine innovation and premieres on October 29, 2025.

These virtual field trips align with the findings of the 2025-2026 Education Insights report, which emphasizes the importance of connecting classroom learning to the wider world for deeper student engagement.

Discovery Education also supports Manufacturing Day, observed annually on the first Friday of October. This year, on October 9, 2025, students can explore careers in manufacturing through the 'Forging Innovation' virtual trip. This initiative aims to inspire students to consider manufacturing industries, which are projected to create 4 million new jobs in the next decade.

Discovery Education continues to provide valuable resources to educators and students, with a focus on career exploration and connecting classroom learning to the real world. Through partnerships with various corporations, the company offers a wealth of resources for schools nationwide, supporting initiatives like Manufacturing Day and providing engaging virtual field trips.
