Thanks to our generous supporters, Comic-Con Museum Education Access Fund is proud to offer sponsored field trips and other opportunities for schools receiving Title 1 funds and community groups serving youth who attend Title 1 schools. Funds are limited, and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Eligible groups can request a free field trip, including bus transportation, for up to 72 students. Each free field trip includes an educational program in our makerspace.[link to makerspace page.
Program Rules:
- Ed Access field trips are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. When we release dates in August, January, and June, applicants will be offered a trip up to three times. After a third time with no response or inability to visit, they will be removed from the waitlist and will need to re-apply.
- Ed Access field trips include a self-guided visit to the Comic-Con Museum, as well as a private Makerspace educational program, for up to 72 students. Bus reimbursement is included for one bus. If a school would like to pay for additional learners, we are able to accommodate up to 120 learners in a single field trip with Makerspace. However, the school would be responsible for the additional paid admission and transportation cost.
- Ed Access field trips are only offered on specific dates, which may or may not fall within the academic year in which you are applying, depending upon your position on the waitlist. If you would like to take a field trip on a specific date, you will need to request a paid trip.
- Teachers may request one Ed Access trip per school year, but they may only occupy one position on the waitlist.
- Rules are subject to change.
