Travelers Already Enrolled: Information Session Held Spring 2023
Program Description: Water’s role in society goes far deeper than simple hydration. From the tiniest bacteria to the largest blue whale, there isn’t a single organism on earth that can survive without it. And although water touches almost every aspect of our daily lives, have we realized its full potential? Let’s dive in to better understand water’s influence on transportation, agriculture, energy, and more. Together, we’ll explore ways to harness this fundamental resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
Objectives:
-
Students will engage in experiences which promote an appreciation of water as a resource.
-
Students will explore and experience Spanish culture.
-
Students will strengthen leadership skills, perspective taking, collaboration and problem solving
