Discussion: January Zoom course on experiential education with orienteering focus

Designing Experiential Education: An Orienteering Example

The Challenge: teach kids to orienteer using experiential methods
In this workshop, we'll do orienteering remotely and each in their own neighborhoods. We then deconstruct orienteering to determine learning goals, then build a curriculum that is experiential, delivered outdoors, physically healthy, socially engaging, and fun. Our programs build STEM skills, starting with reasoning and observation. We'll discuss mix-ins and missions like environmental science and sustainability. Anyone can take the curriculum and implement it.
Each participant brings their teaching problems to the table, and we create experiential solutions.

Format:
(1 - online) 4 1-hour classes in January. Thursdays at 3pm.
(2 - at home) 3 homework packages to be done at home, on the computer, or outside your home
