We come from Cambodia
Hello! My name is Karen and I come from Montana, US. Currently, I am a science facilitator in the Liger Learning Center, Phnom Penh. The Liger Learning Center is a project-based learning school, which means that the students are more likely to get off the campus and get a real life experience from outside. The students that study in this school are from many different provinces around the country. They had shown many change agents characteristics over the past few years that they can help to create positive change in their country.
The class that I am currently teaching is called “Climate Change” and it’s part of an Exploration. The students are in grade 9th and they are around 12-15 years old. In the class, I’m not really teaching the students much about it, I just explain them briefly about the climate change. There are three smaller groups in my class and difference groups have a different responsibility. One of the group is doing the International Carbon Footprint Challenge and Ocean Acidification. The other two are responsible for the Polar Bears International comp etition and Green School Project. I’m really glad to have my students participate in this challenge. I hope that they will have a great discussion and interaction with other students on how to reduce their carbon footprint.
