Who it's for
A place-based learning tool, used however your organization teaches.
Signpost shines anywhere there's a physical space, a story to tell, and learners to engage. Here's how different organizations put it to work.
Schools
Turn hallways, fields, and field trips into active learning.
Drop QR codes at the library, gym, cafeteria, and counseling office. Incoming students scan to learn what each space does and earn points for completing the loop.
Hide QR codes around a museum, science fair, or nature corner. Each scan asks one question tied to that exhibit — instant formative assessment.
Multi-day events with rotating destinations. Leaderboards drive friendly competition between classes or grade levels.
- Works on the school-issued phone or the student's own device.
- Private by default — destinations don't show up publicly unless you publish them.
- Printable QR sheets mean no special tech budget.
Parks & nature centers
Self-guided interpretive trails without the audio-tour hardware.
Place a QR at each trail marker with a plant ID, ecology blurb, or 'what do you see right now' prompt. Visitors get content at their own pace.
A mandatory set of stops to earn the badge. Quizzes let rangers verify learning without staffing every station.
Fall foliage hunts, bird-ID weeks, trail-opening kickoffs. Enable the leaderboard to drive repeat visits.
- Weatherproof QR on a post is cheaper and simpler than a beacon or a ranger.
- Geo-fencing ensures visitors actually hiked the trail — no remote cheating.
- Analytics show which stops get attention and which need better signage.
Historic sites & museums
Replace paper worksheets with a scannable, trackable tour.
Each exhibit or building gets a QR with rich text and an optional 'what did you notice' question. Visitors go at their own pace, in any order.
Students visit destinations, complete quizzes, and view the leaderboard.
Spin up an event for a seasonal exhibit; archive it when it ends. No permanent infrastructure to maintain.
- A laminated QR on a label is far cheaper than a dedicated audio-guide device.
- Youth-appropriate: simple scan, no social features, no outside ads.
- Exports make it easy to report impact to boards and grantors.
