Experiential learning is at the core of this overall educational project. Education can take place in multiple places, out on the river, in the chemistry lab, coding in front of a computer, designing / playing an educational game, making / programing a robot, creating art or organizing an event.
Students learn real-life skills such as time management, project management, team management, coding, robotics, coordination with colleagues, appropriate research and safety practices, and effective scientific research. This project encompasses all of these aspects to provide a spherical experience to middle schoolers who are curious about the world and what they can do to help the environment.
