Thanks to financial and volunteer support from the Charlotte Hornets Foundation and Novant Health, on September 20th, more than 100 employees will gather to build an Outdoor Learning Lab at Devonshire Elementary in Charlotte, NC. Soon, Devonshire’s students will have a dynamic new Outdoor Learning Lab where teachers can lead exciting and engaging outdoor experiential lessons that add relevance, purpose, and real-world meaning to every subject.
This “Big Dig” event is hosted by Out Teach, a national nonprofit that coaches and inspires teachers to unlock student performance with the power of outdoor experiential learning outdoors.
Planning for the project began back in May, when Out Teach asked the students to draw out the different features they wanted in their Outdoor Learning Lab.
