The Power of Stories: Stories, Power & Truth

Pathfinders investigate how stories are used across different contexts, including media, science, law, and digital environments. They explore how narratives can inform, persuade, challenge, or mislead, and consider how stories are shaped by perspective, evidence, and technology.

Each Collection is designed using inclusive learning principles, supporting diverse learning needs through self-paced exploration, clear instructions, flexible activity options, visual supports, and multiple ways for Pathfinders to engage, create, build, and reflect.

A Curiosity Collection includes multiple Pathfinder activities completed over several sessions.

Each activity introduces new ideas through exploration, investigation, and creative design, leading to a final project where Pathfinders combine what they have learned.
