Nikos Theodosakis: Mattering
Let’s Turn Schools Into Studios. The InStill Life project invites students to explore and participate in real world issues by learning about the food we eat. Students use science, history, mathematics, art, technology, language arts, social studies and other subject areas to explore the interconnectedness of learning and the relationships between themselves and others around the planet.
ABOUT Tedx
