“Life Around the World!
Biodiversity is a curious and adventurous topic for students to engage in as it involves life from around the world. Using educational yet appealing videos along with interactive elements, the goal of the workshop will be for the students to learn and appreciate different lifeforms. The lesson is partially made by members of our initiative, The Green Cause. We plan to integrate both the talent of our members and our experience in virtual sessions to edify the young minds attending the workshop.
