Earth Awareness Portable Classroom

The Earth Awareness Portable Classroom is an initiative of our Community Partnership-Global Education program. From inside the classroom, the earth can be seen in its entirety for the first time. Continents are viewed in their true relationship to one another, not distorted as flat maps portray.

Foundation staff give Earth Balloon presentations in Iowa and the immediate Quad Cities area. These presentations offer students the chance to experience geography in a new way and focus on the asects of each continent as well as reinforcing general map skills. Find out more.
