Educational Philosophy
"Teaching self-directed learning through research methodology"
This project embodies the belief that education should empower students to become independent researchers and critical thinkers. Rather than presenting pre-digested information, the platform provides tools and data sources that encourage exploration, questioning, and discovery. Students learn geography by investigating real data, comparing sources, and forming their own understanding.
