Did you know? - Explorers Club

We are pleased to congratulate Mike Aitkenhead on being selected for The Explorers Club Teaching Fellowship.

The Explorers Club Teaching Fellowship was founded to provide hands-on, field experience to teachers so that they can model to their students the traits of world-class explorers: curiosity, collaboration, and confidence. By impacting teachers, The Explorers Club Teaching Fellowship hopes to create explorer-educators and impact the next generation of explorers. This program is open to all current K-12 classroom teachers based in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Mr. Aitkenhead, and several Teaching Fellows, will join Explorers Club member and geothermal scientist, Andrés Ruzo on an expedition to Peru’s Boiling River. Upon their return from expedition, Teaching Fellows will serve as ambassadors for The Explorers Club and exploration in the classroom, by hosting local explorers at their schools, and creating lesson plans based on their experience for The Explorers Club and teachers worldwide.

This recognition is a testament to his dedication and passion for science education, and we look forward to the ways his work will continue to inspire and enrich learning experiences for Weston students.
