Testimonials

“ The Journey 2050 field school enhanced my knowledge of what could happen in 2050. I know that we should always be careful of what we do and consider how it will impact our lives and the world.” – Participating Student

“ We had the pleasure of having an in classroom virtual field trip. We were so excited to work together and provide ideas which allowed our entire day to be tailored to the specific learning objectives related to our Grade Five curriculum (i.e. sustainability, asking good questions, etc.). Finding ways to engage children in a new and authentic way was provided through the Journey 2050 program and the Calgary Stampede. Thank you" - Tasha Royer, Grade 5 Teacher

“ The staff was incredibly accommodating, got back with my questions right away, and it was a really cool experience for the kids. The kids loved the game, they really loved the live meets, and being able to ask questions to a professional in that field was really exciting for them. They liked the idea of going on a virtual field trip… It was awesome and if I was in this position next year I would for sure do it again.” - Jodie Bhavnani, Grade 7 teacher
