Core Learning Journey Curricula

Out of Eden Learn is Project Zero’s unique online learning community designed to accompany Paul Salopek’s Out of Eden Walk. Classes, after school programs, and young people from around the world are clustered into small, diverse learning groups to undergo a “learning journey” together. They complete weekly activities, post their responses, and read and respond to others’ posts. Our community is open to all schools and students, free of charge. These curricular units guide participants through "the Present and the Local" and "the Past and the Global" elements of Out of Eden Learn.

Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be “app-dependent” versus “app-enabled” and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era.
