I am finally back home in New York for a few weeks to present at different schools, including my own , the United Nations International School. This outreach program is an amazing opportunity to reach out to many students outside of my own classroom.
Besides UNIS/Manhattan and UNIS/Queens, I was able to visit the School of Columbia University, and Marymount School of New York.
The challenge was the transport of the presentation material to different schools: imagine a yellow cab full of penguins, globe, and Antarctic gear!!
