The Destination: Where This Challenge Will Take You!
Have you ever wondered what animals “say” to each other? Dr.
Doolittle knew! We humans communicate in many ways - we talk, we use gestures,
symbols and devices. We can even use a mobile phone to text message our
BFF ;-). Animals don’t communicate by using phones or computers, but
they manage to get their message across anyway – loud and clear! They
use sounds, color, movement and other tools to warn, inform and network.
So get ready to create and communicate – animal style – and
let your audience know what the buzz is all about.
