On Monday afternoon were we able to get to know the students from Dubai.
Here are some of the things we talked about:
Students:
- Amir, 13 years old, likes basketball
- Ameerah, 14 years old, likes painting
- Se, 14 years old, likes drawing
Expectations:
- Amir is Egyptian and loves corals a lot. So he feels that he has an emotional connection to the project. His goal is to raise awareness.
- Se knew a lot of facts about the corals. She also wants to raise awareness.
- Ameerah wants to raise awareness and have an impact on the environment.
How to reach a larger audience:
- Amir wants to get an interview with a NYU professor and eventually publish it in the NYU newsletter of Dubai
- The other two girls want to start a social media account and post coral reef content.
