Montana WILD & Inspired Classroom Distance Learning Program is a problem-solving project hosted on a virtual platform.
Students participate in two interactive Livestream events allowing them to interact with wildlife biologists and other conservation specialists. Students walk through the steps of problem-solving as they react to a real-world scenario. As they research, brainstorm, apply criteria, develop action plans and submit solutions for review, students are critically thinking and developing real-world skills.
Teachers can embed the program into their curriculum any way they choose—use it as a whole class, student teams, or independent project.
