A Skype call with Livingstone Kegode, a teacher in Nairobi, Africa was set up so that students could interact with the Nairobi students. Recently, we heard about the unfortunate news that one of the pipes in the school recently burst, leaving him and all the students with contaminated water.

Later, teachers came up with the idea of giving 6th and 7th grade students a real-life example of problem solving, and decided to begin a cross-curricular project centered on the water contamination problem in Nairobi.

Three countries and three cities will collaborate in this cross curricular project: Andover (the USA), Nairobi (Kenya), Trikala (Greece)

USD 385 - Andover Middle
