Presenters from 14 Countries Share iEARN Project Outcomes at Virtual Exhibition

Jun 5, 2019 | Uncategorized

The Spring 2019 iEARN Virtual Project Exhibition on May 22nd was a great success and a vibrant celebration of global collaboration!

As the infographic above shows, 35 students and 18 educators from 14 countries presented on 12 iEARN projects, and there were a total of 150 people from 36 countries who attended the exhibition.

According to feedback from the audience, the greatest highlight from the exhibition was seeing and hearing the students present their iEARN project work and outcomes to a global community. Students presented live from Iran, Georgia, the United States, Ukraine, Morocco, Uganda, Brasil, and Algeria, and students from Georgia co-hosted one of the three exhibitions. The excitement, pride and joy on the faces and in their voices at presenting what they had accomplished was palpable.

Moreover, learning about all of the amazing work that classrooms around the world had put into their iEARN project work was truly inspiring. Videos, poetry, and handmade artifacts were only some of the media that educators and students shared.

It was not only a celebration of all that the students had accomplished with their project work, but also of the friendships they had made and the bridges they had built with their peers across the world.

Thank you to all of our wonderful presenters for sharing your project outcomes, our guest hosts for volunteering your time, and to all of our event attendees.
