The 2015 Fellows will embark on Lindblad Expeditions voyages aboard the National Geographic Explorer and the National Geographic Endeavour for a one-of-a-kind field experience to bring back to their classrooms and communities.
Follow their upcoming adventures here on this blog, and check out some of our guest posts from last year.
Join us as we congratulate these outstanding educators and check to see if they’re inspiring young minds near you.
