The BMI is excited to offer a new educational opportunity inspired by our on-site education programs. City Kits are all-in-one activity boxes that give kids a way to experience the best parts of the BMI’s on-site programs from home.
Each activity kit includes hands-on, curriculum-aligned activities and primary source images, accompanied by easy-to-follow lesson plans.
City Kits are a great stand-alone activity, and also pair well with the BMI’s virtual field trips. For teachers or parents looking to supplement social studies learning or our City Kits experiences, check out our Youtube Student Playlist as a resource.
City Kits are available for student groups of 10 or more. We encourage you to order the kits at least two weeks prior to your preferred delivery date.

[quote color=”color4″ boxed=”yes”]This was by far one of the best at-home assignments we’ve done — fun, locally and globally relevant, a learning activity that didn’t feel too much like learning. :) I love that it wasn’t too complicated — sometimes simpler is better.[author] Parent[/author][/quote]
