Embark on a journey of sustainability with your students through hands-on experiences

Let’s Go!

The Story

When your class suddenly finds themselves on an uninhabited island, you meet two feathered travelers, Ricardo and Raj, who impart their worldly knowledge upon their new friends. With the help of famed anthropologist Professor Flora, you’ll create your own society from the ground up while exploring sustainability topics ranging from ecosystems to food production. Plunk your students in the driver’s seat of this choose-your-own adventure competition, as they encounter complicated real-word topics in a fun, educative way.

How it Works

Mission Explorium is equal parts fun for students and easy for teachers. Over the course of this four-quest competition, students will explore sustainability and take on fun, curriculum-related challenges. Each week, classes will explore sustainability topics such as ecology, agricultural traditions, food choices, and culture. Students will break into five squads to explore these topics through the lens of language, arts, science, math, and careers.

Through the completion of activities and quizzes, classes will earn points that will allow them to compete with other classrooms across the country. Teachers can also make use of Mission Explorium’s student workbook, which, along with some viewing questions, allows students to reflect on each quest's videos and activities, as well as their own skill development.

One Mission Four Quests

Culture Quest

Culture is more than just the aspects we can see and hear. Students will understand that the interconnectedness of humans is complex and there is value in the culmination of everyone’s unique traditions and diversity.

Agriculture Quest

After exploring the island, it is time for the students to understand human’s impact on our environment. They will look at inputs, structure, and sustainability as it pertains to agriculture.

Ecosystem Quest

Students will be tasked with Exploring, Identifying, and Understanding the island ecosystem that they find themselves in. They will explore how energy flows, as well as adaptations in both plants and animals.

Food Quest

From our inputs and relationship with the land, students will now learn to identify sources of information, both positive and negative, concerning food. They will recognize the tools used in healthy decision-making and the food choices we make.
