Learn From Our Explorers!
National Geographic Explorers take risks, stretch boundaries, and conduct inquiries to make a positive impact on the world. Through their curiosity, problem solving skills, and expert knowledge they help us better understand our natural world, its people, and its cultures. In this time when we all have to chart the unknown from our homes, we have a chance, perhaps even the responsibility, to be explorers. Successful explorers prepare before an expedition, then reflect on what they learn afterward, and share it with others. This curated collection of resources shows National Geographic Explorers in action observing natural phenomena and collaborating with others to achieve their goals.
