Students from Around the World Share iEARN Project Outcomes at Virtual Exhibition

Dec 20, 2019 | Uncategorized

The iEARN Virtual Project Exhibition on December 12th was a great success and a vibrant celebration of global collaboration!

As the infographic above shows, 45 students and 14 educators from 6 countries presented on 10 iEARN projects, and there were a total of 60 people from 18 countries who attended the exhibition.

According to feedback from the audience, the greatest highlight from the exhibition was seeing so many students present their iEARN project work and outcomes to a global community. Students presented live from Georgia, the United States, Pakistan, Colombia, Morocco, and students from Georgia co-hosted one of the exhibitions.

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