Modules
EcoGarage has carefully constructed highly intuitive learning modules for students participating in Project EDEN. All those participating will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the many facets that encompass climate change, sustainability, circular economy, entrepreneurship, and innovation. With the Project EDEN co-curricular option, each planned session throughout the scholastic year will include a 1-hour module learning class and a 2-hour activity class catering to education in sustainability.
Project EDEN for schools is divided into seven modules that span across the scholastic year*. Each module is independently peer-reviewed by well-established experts in the field. Mentors who have undergone extensive training under EcoGarage are assigned to spearhead each module.
*We are flexible with schedule customization.
