The program’s pilot year was an incredible success. Leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, letters and video messages were exchanged with students from 9 classes ranging from 2nd grade to the university level.
Participating teachers seamlessly incorporated activities related to the Olympics and Steve’s training into their curricula to strengthen lessons and increase student engagement related to:
- Goal Setting
- Leadership Skills
- Digital Literacy
- Language arts
