ocean. Some of these things were the tides, waves, sea turtles, and sharks.
Stephanies favorite part, other than the beach, was being able to tour the
WW II era USS North Carolina Battleship. She said, I learned so much
from the tour of the USS North Carolina. I gained more respect for all our
service members and what they go through so that I and everyone in the
USA can have the freedoms that we do.
Stephanies project came about because of a program at SUU called
EDGE (Education Designed to Give Experience). This is a program where
each student comes up with his or her own project. After the students get
approval on their project they put their project into action. Stephanie
prepared and got approval for her project from the Outdoor Engagement
Center. Her project proved to her that she wanted to become a teacher and
to work with students that have special needs. But most importantly it
showed her how hands-on learning is important, and how being outdoors can
make learning not feel like learning at all.
