THE ADVENTURE INSTITUTE
The Adventure Institute is an Iowa-based educational non-profit organization that develops and disseminates adventure-based educational curriculums for students across the United States. During the 2010-2011 academic year, The Adventure Institute will pilot an adventure-based educational program to students across the United States based on The World Tri expedition.
The World Tri curriculum is an adventure-based educational program based on The World Tri expedition. The educational program is a year long, inquiry-based and project-based curriculum that strategically links together students, educators, families and the general public in formal and informal educational communities through experiences in a variety of educational environments. The curriculum modules developed for The World Tri Curriculum are designed to be positive and inspirational and are accordingly “solutions-based.” Each module will be specifically tailored to the regions explored during expedition, while confronting participants with a blend of contemporary earth science issues (such as alternative energy, water quality, water scarcity, and climate change), and traditional earth science issues (such as geology, meteorology, climatology and oceanography). While the core The World Tri Curriculum is STEM-based, the program also includes modules that are focused on economic and cultural issues.
