Digital Project: Meet the Global Scholars

What Makes a Global Scholar?

The What Makes a Global Scholar? video project is a 3-minute video about what it means to be a Global Scholar, and information about their city, school, and classroom. The project can take many forms.


Every Global Scholars unit ends with a digital project that you will share with your international peers. For each project, you will follow the design map to plan your project and stay organized.
