Expedition Earth

In Quest this session, Discovery Eagles have been on a geographical exploration of the world, getting their Ascent passports stamped as they travel from continent to continent, discovering new lands and cultures. These Quest days have led to exploring beadwork in Africa, building Igloos in Antarctica, and creating Rangoli in Asia.

After traveling to six continents, each learner took on the role of a National Geographic geographer pitching the country they think should be chosen to house the next National Geographic research location. Their challenge, after traveling the world, was learn as much as possible about their chosen country and present their facts- and their case- to visitors at the Global Expo (this session’s Exhibition of Learning).

As we head toward the end of the session, the geographers have been focused and working hard on wrapping up their research and finalizing their presentations for the Global Expo.

Throughout this Quest, the learners have been practicing curiosity and wonder as they discovery new languages, new cuisines, and different cultures. They have worked hard to overcome the challenges that accompany finding valuable information throughout the research process and have learned to decipher true and relevant information.

As the learners have formed connections with how others live in the world, they continue to come back to our Question of the Year: How Does a Hero Connect?
