  • Main Gym
  • Open to all current AOA students, faculty,
    staff, parents and alumni
  
Here's a chance to show off, talk about, and share different cultures from around the world with which you have a personal connection.  Whether it's a country in which you currently live, used to live, studied, worked, did service work, vacationed or simply have an interest in, now is your chance to share your experiences or interest with others.   

Entrants are to create some form of interactive visual demonstration which provides viewers a chance to "experience" the country or culture.  All entries should include, but are not limited to, one tri-fold demonstration board (one board is available for each entry if needed).  All entries will be judged and awards will be given to the top entry for Middle School and Upper School students.

For more information, please contact Matt Starkey at mstarkey@andrewsosborne.org.
