• To fully engage students through use of IT tools as they explore their outdoor environment.
• Students get to learn about adaptation of organisms in their environment.
• Programme encourages students to capture pictures, photos, videos, sketches and data through the use of iPads provided.
• Programme helps students to improve their understanding of ecology as part of their science syllabus, and to consolidate their learning by engaging them even after the trail via use of the Prezi platform.
