This document describes global collaboration opportunities for STEM learning through an organization called Level Up Village. It offers 1:1 virtual courses between students around the world in areas like engineering, coding, web design, languages and more. Students work on projects together around topics such as inventing, science experiments, storytelling and sound design while also learning about global citizenship. The courses are aimed at students ages 4 to 15. The document provides a list of the different collaboration experiences offered and explains how hands-on STEM learning can be combined with teaching about global issues through connecting students globally.

46. This project has been very
enjoyable. We're able to
make a difference in the
world. It may not be a big
change, but if each person
would pitch in we could
change the world little by
little…

47. It was so much fun learning
how to do 3-D printing, I hope
that someday I will make
something extraordinary that
will help people all around
the world. I will never forget
this amazing experience, I
hope that maybe you will be
able to do it too!
