Fellows’ Module Videos

Fellows collaborated with teachers to produce video clips that serve as an introduction for students on topics covered in the various learning modules. Access these videos by clicking on the image below or going directly to the SCWIBLES YouTube channel.

 

Students, particular those in low income communities, are increasingly faced with poor nutrition and exercise options. One way to combat this while also building community is to teach about walkable communities.

“What’s Your Walk Score: Walkable neighborhoods as healthy, social and safe communities”. Students, particular those in low income communities, are increasingly faced with poor nutrition and exercise options. One way to combat this while also building community is to teach about walkable communities.
