Teton Science Schools

Today was “Science as a Verb” day for our place-based education workshop in Thimphu at the Division of Youth and Sports (DYS) campus.

We conducted our first of two place-based education workshops at the Hotel Holiday Home in Paro, Bhutan from January 11-13, 2013. Twenty-seven teachers came to participate.

Our past few days have been busy with travels to Thimphu on Friday, January 11 for a meeting with the Teton Science Schools-Bhutan partnership Steering Committee and the first two days of our teacher workshop on Saturday and Sunday (January 12-13).

fter a much needed night of good sleep, our exploration of Bhutan began today by seeing some of the highlights of Paro. Bhumika and Tashi continued as our guides and took us to the College of Education in Paro to look around and visit with some of the faculty.

After 6 pairs of take-offs and landings over the last 48 or so hours, we arrived in Paro, Bhutan today at about 2 pm local time.

After nearly five years of bringing graduate students and delegations of teachers from Bhutan to Teton Science Schools, an official delegation from TSS and the University of Wyoming will be traveling to Bhutan in January 2013.
