Current Events for Deep Thinkers
ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Our world is pretty nutty right now and there’s a lot to process! This one week camp provides space for students to come together, discover, discuss, debate, and dialogue about the current events of the world. Whether your student already possesses a love for learning about the complex geopolitical landscape and is seeking like-minded peers to connect with or your child simply has an interest in the news, this camp is perfect for them. We’ll cover contextualization, fake news, connecting stories, analyzing vantage points, and so much more! Brought to you by our friends at Young Scholars Academy, featuring 2e instructor and director, Samuel Young.
