An Experiential Learning Experience for Bulloch County Schools
Has your child ever seen dinosaur bones? Touched the feathers of a bald eagle? Experienced the vastness of space or the history of jazz and rock ‘n roll? Project Eaglet offers children in Bulloch County Schools the opportunity to interact with Georgia Southern University’s five outreach centers:
About the Project Eaglet Program
Through the generosity of the Kiwanis Club of Statesboro, elementary school children grades one through five in Bulloch County will experience academic enrichment programs at Georgia Southern University’s outreach centers on the Statesboro Campus — at no cost to them or their school budgets.
Each outreach center has developed a standards-based program for each grade level, and each year the children will visit the center that specializes in their grade level so that after five years, each child will have experienced all outreach subjects and activities, broadening their knowledge and expanding the possibilities of their future education. Each year students take home a Project Eaglet button from that outreach center, with the goal of eventually collecting all five buttons.
The program will also provide them with a positive college campus experience that may entice them to choose a college education in the future.
