This
page can also be found and accessed through the
Audio Clips pages starting from May 16 of "Follow
The Climb: By Day". In order to make the "Live
From Logan" climb even more exciting and interactive,
and to create a little "positive reinforcement"
for the benefits of learning material in the site
and presented as subject material from the climb
itself, we announce the Educational Challenge Contest!
Challenge Questions
Each day, or every other day as satellite connections
permit, James will ask a question during his daily
Audio Blog/Clip. This will be a question related
to the current climb, or may be a more general question,
the answer to which you should be able to find somewhere
within the main website. We'll leave it to you to
find out where, and to figure out what the answer
might be.
Eligibility
This contest is open to students of Canadian schools
that have Registered
with the Summits Of Canada Expedition website.
