Da'Quan Goes To Washington, DC

Da’Quan is smart, like, really smart. He’s the kind of kid who can solve a math problem in seconds, find the answer to almost anything with a few taps, and never misses a beat in class. But there’s one thing Da’Quan depends on more than anything else: his phone. It’s his map, his brain, his entertainment, and his lifeline, all in one.

So when his middle school class takes a big trip to Washington, DC, Da’Quan is excited, but only as long as his phone is fully charged. He’s more interested in capturing videos and checking social media than soaking in the sights of monuments and museums. That is, until everything changes.

In a moment of panic and confusion, Da’Quan loses the one thing he relies on most, his phone. And to make matters worse, he gets separated from his class in the middle of a busy city. No GPS. No group chat. No one to guide him but… himself.

Now Da’Quan must rely on something stronger than any app—his mind. As he navigates Washington, DC using critical thinking, observation, and courage, he discovers something unexpected: a growing curiosity about how the city works, how decisions are made, and how people like him can be leaders too.

Join Da’Quan on this unforgettable adventure through history, challenge, and self-discovery, because sometimes, losing what you think you need is how you find who you really are.
