Explorers in Focus.
Women in Exploration would like to have a video contest that celebrates women in exploration! The goal is to have students from elementary to grad school be invited to create short videos (1-3 minutes) about a woman explorer. They will choose from three categories: 'Someone I Know', 'Someone I Want to Know', or 'Someone in History'. This contest aims to foster creativity and research skills, while honoring the remarkable achievements of women explorers. Each age group—Elementary, Middle, High School, College, and Grad School—will have the chance to showcase their talents and learn about inspiring figures in exploration.
