The Out of Kendall Project focuses on introducing young children in first and second-grade to the following competencies: global empathy, slowing down, and appreciating their surrounding and other places. The project utilizes approaches adopted from Harvard University’s Project Zero that provide pedagogical approaches, thinking routines that allow the students to comprehend these competencies. The Out of Kendall Project introduces young learners to Paul Salopek’s journey of walking 21,000 miles around the seven continents. Paul documents his journey for everyone to watch and to partake. Project Zero created a website called Out of Eden Learn that allows classrooms around the world analyze Paul’s adventure and share unique aspects from their environment. The Out of Kendall project invites two public classrooms to join Paul’s odyssey as they will initiate a walk in their neighborhood.
