Long Term/Summer Project: Full Travel Budget & Itinerary
- Google Sheets™
Description
Challenge precocious students to tap into their inner travel planner by building their own adventure!
This phone & tablet-friendly toolkit contains 549 interactive pages, giving students access to over 450 destinations worldwide with dynamic visuals and emphasis on cultural exchange. It allows students to create their own copy of a travel toolkit, including 1 editable spreadsheet with 4 pre-formatted pages:
1. A budget tracker
2. A travel calculator with 10 different currencies
3. A trip planner
4. A trip itinerary
While this valuable, content-rich travel toolkit is suitable for educational purposes, it functions doubly as a lifelong travel organizer for individuals and families. Use this tool to teach students the responsibilities that accompany event and travel planning, as well as foreign currencies, inflation, distance, geography, and more!
Projects can last 3-4 weeks, with optional extension at discretion of the teacher. Students work independently or in groups, and earn points by presenting or demonstrating their progress at the end of each day of week.
