๐ŸŒฟ Everglades Edudome Experience ๐ŸŒฟ

This week, our 3rd & 5th grade students had the exciting opportunity to experience the Everglades Edudome, an immersive, mobile education program by Friends of the Everglades. Through a 360-degree, in-the-round film developed in partnership with Odyssey Earth, students explored the โ€œRiver of Grassโ€ alongside Miccosukee activist Betty Osceola, park rangers, and local guides.

This powerful experience helped students learn about the importance of the Everglades and the environmental challenges it faces. All while being fully engaged in an interactive and unforgettable way. Weโ€™re grateful for this incredible learning opportunity that brings real-world science and conservation to life!
