About Questions Camp: Putting Curiosity into Action

Questions Camp is an after-school enrichment program for children aged 10-19 years (grades 5-12), which guides them through a journey of cultivating their curiosity.

Before attending Questions Camp, parents and children work work together to create a 'Curiosity Profile' for each child by answering questions and setting curiosity goals. This profile then shapes a personalized 'Curiosity Journey' for each child, helping them cultivate their question-asking and critical-thinking skills.

During Questions Camp sessions, each child's curiosity journey will develop through five stages, each targeting a different skill set that puts curiosity into action.

1. Practicing natural curiosity skills such as observation and critical thinking.
2. Learning question-asking skills that convert curiosity into investigative questions.
3. Honing critical reading and listening skills by evaluating the relevance and credibility of resources.
4. Applying exploratory debate skills by combining different types of information to build insight ans shift perception.
5. Using exploratory research skills to challenge and expand their perspective.

While children are attending Questions Camp, their curiosity profile will update as they progress through their curiosity journey. Parents and caregivers can follow along with those changes online, in order to best support and encourage the child.

At the end of Questions Camp, children showcase their curiosity skills through a Curiosity Project, where they demonstrate their skill sets and share reflections about their own Curiosity Journey.
