Project Summary: For the World History course "Awakening Humanity: The Journey of Civilization," facilitator Tom Dyer challenged his learner to create a replica of an ancient tool or artifact. The project allowed learners to explore the significance of these historical objects in shaping human survival and culture. One learner, Makaio T., chose to replicate the Acheulean hand-axe, a multipurpose prehistoric tool. Instead of using traditional stone, Makaio brought a modern twist to the assignment by designing the tool digitally and 3D printing it. This approach not only demonstrated his understanding of the historical objective but also showcased his impressive technological skills. Watch the process video here!

Project Summary: Inspired by the classic Flat Stanley series, iLEAD Online Adventure course learners in kindergarten are bringing learning to life with their new friend, Flat Mrs. Jeanne. This creative project uses a paper version of their facilitator to spark imagination and build a sense of community, allowing students to explore their neighborhoods and share their adventures with classmates. As an important part of the "Hello, Neighbor!" curriculum, the project seamlessly integrates subjects like Social Studies, Math, and English Language Arts, turning everyday activities like number hunts and bike rides into meaningful educational opportunities. Ultimately, Flat Mrs. Jeanne provides a tangible way for young learners to feel connected and discover that adventure and learning can be found right outside their front door. Watch the video here!
