These educational kits are designed to enhance existing history and social science curricula. The trunks include opportunities for students to learn by integrating objects, multimedia presentations and project ideas in specific subject areas.

Currently, the trunks are being redesigned for better efficiency, and will be ready for the 2008-2009 school year. Subject areas are the following:

     • Las Vegas and the Rough Riders
     • Living in Town
     • Transportation
