Covid 19 has made international travel very difficult and many of us had to cancel or postpone our trips abroad. Trinity High School and Mercy Academy (both in Louisville, KY) along with Lexington Catholic (Lexington, KY) have paired together to take an amazing adventure in Costa Rica. In collaboration with Seeds of Change, these three schools will be studying leafcutter ants and conducting experiments in the rainforest. 10 days of learning in one of the most beautiful places on earth.  Students will be posting a daily blog to share their experiences and highlight their research.
