Virtual field trips with Laurie Hernandez and friends


At KPMG, we believe learning unlocks a student’s potential. We recognize how disruptive the last year has been and that students have missed out on many traditional experiences. To help support educators and engage students, we’ve created a series of virtual field trips with some recognizable leaders across sports, entertainment and business. Our official guide for these field trips is KPMG Learning Ambassador and Olympic gold medalist, Laurie Hernandez.

As you’ll see, Laurie hosts virtual field trips across the east coast, west coast and all the way into space, featuring talent from many areas of our communities to provide "edutainment" for classrooms in 2021. Laurie introduces students to thought leaders, academics and other influencers to discuss subject matter authentic to their passions and professions while taking classrooms on exciting virtual visits!
