Over the last four years, more than 20,000 children on four continents have participated in the project. We have demonstrated learning gains in science, language arts, and social studies and students have completed literally thousands of Quests, some of which were assigned by teachers and many of which were chosen by students to complete in their free time.
Additionally, we have supported students and teachers in conducting rich inquiry-based explorations through which students learn particular standards-based content, and at the same time develop pro-social attitudes regarding significant environmental and social issues. Rather than just placing work and play side-by-side, QA strives to make learning fun and to show kids how they can make a difference.
