An academic curriculum, Imagine, was developed as a project of The Next Fifty in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair. This curriculum uses the fair, also known as the Century 21 Exposition, as a lens through which students will examine life in the Pacific Northwest 50 years ago and identify similarities and differences in todays world. The curriculum challenges students to use the past as a tool to understand the present and imagine the future. See the full curriculum for grade 3-12 online, http://kcts.tv/yyLoOR.
