Civics in the United States of America

Discover the foundations of the U.S. government and the structure of democracy through real-world connections and meaningful inquiry. Participants explore the principles that shape our nation, analyze foundational documents, and examine how federal and state governments function today. Along the way, they build a deep understanding of civic responsibility and the role that individuals play in shaping their communities. The module emphasizes critical thinking, decision-making, leadership, and connections to everyday life. The experience concludes with a Civic Action Project-Based Learning challenge, where participants design and propose a solution to address an issue in their community, state, or nation, moving from understanding to action.
