Pack your suitcases for Challenge Island's® World Tour, where you will combine learning about solid STEM concepts with hands-on challenges! You and a tribeful of friends will engineer your way around the globe - from the Eiffel tower to the Sydney Harbor bridge to the Taj Mahal to a Kenyan safari. Each challenge will bring you to a different destination and provide a special Challenge Island taste of the local flavor there!

Each lesson:

-has "hard core" science components (via a hands on project) PLUS a social emotional learning piece (reflection, sharing, working in teams)

-is cross-curricular for example with arts or social studies

-is FUN, energetic and allows children to BE themselves
