This is a collaborative project with the Lower Merion School District in Ardmore, PA, and classrooms around the globe. Inspired by the true story of Alex Scott, the Lemon Project was started to get kids to think about how they can make a difference in the world. Alex's Lemonade Stand has gained national attention, and has raised millions of dollars for pediatric Cancer Research. This project will encompass the participation of classrooms all over the world. A 5 month long project duration will enable classrooms to connect , whenever, wherever. 5 videoconference events will take place to get the excitement going, and connect kids from other countries. Through videoconferncing and blogging, students from different cultures will work together to solve real problems in their own school, community, country, and the world. Students will debate, discuss, and generate questions based on essential questions that will drive the project. The project will culminate with a product to be shared via video, podcast, etc. This project is about real world problems and how we deal with them.
