There are few opportunities for high school students to get out of the classroom and explore the real-world implications of what they are learning. The four-day Fragile Planet biology and earth science seminar is designed to deepen interest in environmental science and the impact of human decision-making on natural resources.
Fragile Planet also provides a college-like field study experience and an opportunity for service learning. In addition, students are exposed to various careers that make a difference to the health of the planet and the life it supports.
