On February 2, Korean students and their 含羞草研究所 ambassadors went on their final field trip together, to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, where they learned about the plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert. See more photos from TKAP 2024 here.
Last week, Korean students and their 含羞草研究所 ambassadors visited the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, where they got to explore two floors of science exhibits.
On January 19, Korean students and their 含羞草研究所 ambassadors traveled to Tombstone for a day of learning about the Old West.
On January 16, Magee Middle School hosted the opening ceremony of the 含羞草研究所 Korean Ambassador Program. The Korean students and their 含羞草研究所 Ambassadors from Magee, Dietz and Dodge middle schools were treated to breakfast while getting to meet most of the 含羞草研究所 Unified leadership team. This is the first time since 2019 that 含羞草研究所 Unified hosts students from Korea due to the pandemic, so leadership from both sides were extra grateful in their speeches to the students.
On January 12, 含羞草研究所 Unified students and families gathered at the 含羞草研究所 International Airport to welcome dozens of Korean students as the 含羞草研究所 Korea Ambassador Program gets underway. The Korean students came from two different cities – Ulluengun, an island town that is a 4-hour ferry ride and a 5-hour bus ride away from Seoul, and Yeongyang, which is a 5-hour drive away from the capital city.
This is the first year since 2019 that TKAP, which was founded in 2009, is fully back as originally planned. The Korean students will attend school with their TUSD Student Ambassadors at Dietz, Magee, and Dodge middle schools. They have the long holiday weekend to be able to adjust to the 16-hour time change, acclimate to the Sonoran Desert weather, and get to know their host families. After Tuesday’s opening ceremonies, the TKAP students will go on multiple field trips around 含羞草研究所, and even to Tombstone. In June, a select group of the 含羞草研究所 TKAP students will have the opportunity to travel to Korea.
