View Boston and Six Red Marbles partnered to develop 15 standards-aligned lesson plans, turning a visit to the Prudential Tower observatory into an immersive field trip across history, engineering, and civics.
Boston, MA — August 10, 2023
View Boston, the new experiential observatory encompassing the top three floors of Boston’s iconic Prudential Tower, is excited to announce their partnership with Six Red Marbles (SRM), a leading provider of innovative educational solutions, to create an enriching educational experience guests will never forget. Together, they developed 15 comprehensive lesson plans covering a diverse range of topics including history, engineering, and civics which students can complete throughout their visit at View Boston.
Developed in collaboration with Six Red Marbles’ team of experts, the curriculum includes five lesson plans based on grade level, ranging from grades three through 12. The engaging lesson plans provide visitors with an immersive, holistic experience, guiding students through the exhibits and encouraging them to explore the city’s rich heritage.
“We believe that education extends far beyond the walls of a classroom,” said Justin Rink, General Manager at View Boston. “This collaboration with Six Red Marbles allows us to seamlessly integrate engaging and interactive curriculum into the exploration of our observatory, fostering a positive learning environment for students.”
Students will begin their journey on the 52nd floor, known as The View, which boasts 24-foot-high floor-to-ceiling windows and uninterrupted views of Boston’s gorgeous skyline and famed landmarks. Students can dive deeper into the city with interactive digital maps called Virtual Viewers, allowing them to zoom in on various points of interest. They can also immerse themselves in interactive exhibits, including a 3D projection-mapped model of the city, an immersive theater and touchscreen technology to explore various neighborhoods, attractions and landmarks.
While making their way through View Boston, students are encouraged to scan the barcode on their ticket to curate a digital itinerary, known as the ViewPrint. Integrated with landmarks, experiences and restaurants, students can utilize their itinerary when exploring the city outside of the observatory.
“We are excited to partner with View Boston and contribute our expertise in curriculum development and instructional design to enhance the educational aspect of this incredible venue. Together, we are committed to providing students with a memorable and engaging experience that will inspire a love for learning and for Boston.”
