PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This experiential learning programme helps students explore how natural systems and human innovations work together. Students investigate how people respond to environmental challenges and resource limits by creating tools, systems, and technologies.

Through caves, forests, wildlife systems, water management structures, and sustainable material use, students examine how systems function, why they were created, and what their limits are. Learning focuses on systems thinking, cause–effect relationships, and sustainability.
