Students journey through the wonders of Arizona’s landscapes, wildlife, and ancient cultures with hands‑on creative projects that bring the desert to life. They craft towering saguaro cacti, design pictographs inspired by Indigenous storytelling traditions, and build playful desert‑animal puppets. As the class unfolds, students step into an immersive “desert escape room” challenge—solving clues, decoding symbols, and using teamwork to navigate a world of mesas, canyons, and creatures of the Sonoran Desert. It’s an imaginative blend of art, culture, and adventure that celebrates the beauty and mystery of Arizona.
