The turtle project

I was involved in a great educational project from a friend in the US, which I’d love to share, particularly to those friends that have children in primary education: the turtle project.

In class (elementary school, first year) the children build a small paper turtle and through the help of their parents and their friends, the turtles travelled in all continents of the world. Each recipient of the turtle would then have the task to take pictures of it (here is the turtle walking around Milano), possibly in interesting locations and send them back to the US. All of this was then posted by the children to the school blog.
