This October, ISSA will be partnering with school districts in India and Mexico to lead students from all three nations in a Global Perspective Project.
The project will center around climate change and environmental issues. Students will learn how these issues affect people all over the world and understand their effects beyond what they themselves can observe. Over the course of the project, students will collaborate to solve problems, learn how to take steps to curb global warming, and implement their solutions.
The project will serve a secondary purpose of teaching the students about STEM careers and collaborating with people from other cultures. They will have to meet challenges such as reliance on technology for communication, differences in culture and custom, and working with people in different time zones. These experiences will be of incalculable value to them as they prepare for jobs in an increasingly globalized world.
