Expo Champions
WHAT IS EXPO CHAMPIONS
Expo Champions is an initiative for students to generate excitement and spread awareness about Expo 2020 to their fellow students, teachers and parents.
In the past, Expo Champions was about teachers and students representing Expo 2020 within their school community with various activities and initiatives, including the Expo 2020 Club and monthly dares. However, with the current government guidelines, schools and the Expo School Programme were not been able to continue Expo Champions as originally planned.
Now in preparation for our exciting opening in October 2021, we want to give access to all students across the UAE to participate in Expo Champions with exciting monthly challenges.
These challenges are meant to be fun and inspiring for students, and teachers are always welcome to use these challenges within their classrooms at any time, if they find them useful.
Road to Expo
As each monthly challenge is complete, we move closer to the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai on our virtual Road to Expo. Students can use this virtual road to compete with each other, and see who can complete all the challenges before we open our doors in October 2021!
