What is ProjectExplorer?

Over the last decade, the emphasis placed on global education has significantly increased in primary and secondary education. Students and educators are no longer limited by the geographic locations of their places of learning; technology can literally bring the world to the classroom. Via the internet, ProjectExplorer provides students with access to peoples and places around the world.

It’s time to Go Global with ProjectExplorer!

ProjectExplorer is a nonprofit organization that invites the kindergarten through twelfth grade community around the world to join us on our global educational travel adventures via the internet. ProjectExplorer is a free story-based, cross-curriculum education program that enhances the learning experience and sparks the imagination of students. Incorporating student-focused mini-documentaries, photos, lesson plans, and encyclopedia-style research, our multimedia approach makes ProjectExplorer accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, of any learning style or ability.

ProjectExplorer knows that travel is an educational experience that is like no other; our projects and materials are designed not only to expose students to various regions, traditions and cultures, but also to help shape the next generation of global citizens.

As a web-based resource, ProjectExplorer will be able to reach a diverse audience, providing opportunities to access and share information. ProjectExplorer story-based learning covers multiple subject areas that foster cross-cultural understanding.

To accomplish its mission, ProjectExplorer relies on and continues to seek partnerships from corporate and government sponsors, as well as individual supporters. It is with their help that ProjectExplorer is made available free-of-charge to the learners of the world, so that we all might better understand one another.
