A
Unique Educational Opportunity
North Pole
Solo 2004
is a real-life expedition in which youth around the globe can
participate online, as Wave Vidmar
attempts
to hike, ski and swim solo across 660 miles to geographic North
Pole. Wave will be the first American to ever attempt this
journey!
Students have the unique opportunity to learn about the North
Pole,
motivation
techniques, survival training, the elements of wind and sun,
glaciers, water systems, communications, nutrition and
environmental management. Wave’s
greatest hope is to inspire positive change in this world, both
for the present and future!
Students Will Be Eager to Participate
Reality
shows are very popular on television these days. Kids love them.
The North Pole Solo expedition is the ultimate reality
experience – allowing students to participate by sharing and discussing Wave’s stories, maps and digital
images.
Your
students will act like detectives: they will ask questions,
gather information, look for facts to support or disprove their
assumptions, and provide solid theories or explanations. This is
not a textbook, but an authentic experience occurring in real
time.
Through their
participation, students can improve their academic skills in
geography, history, science, math, language arts, and many other
curriculum areas. They will be inspired and motivated to follow
their dreams. By the end of the expedition they will be experts
enjoying the accomplishment of applying their knowledge to
real-world situations.
