Our fourth graders are following their own curiosity, and their ears, in their new podcast series “Mystère et Boule de Gomme,” with support from their teachers and the Media Lab. Why can’t humanity live in peace? Take a listen…. And, NPR, watch out!
A podcast created by 4th grade (CM1) students at the Lycée Français de New York. Each episode seeks answers to real questions posed by the students themselves:
Why are the children of immigrants being separated from their parents?
Pourquoi les humains ne respectent-ils pas la Terre ?
What is at the bottom of the oceans?
And more!
