Two-part blog by high school students involved in Science & Us, a student-led organization helping teens discover science communication, policy, media, and related fields.

When I was eleven, I was obsessed with Percy Jackson, a book series about the adventures of a teenage demigod. While watching the movie, I thought Apollo was pretty good-looking, and ended up on a video montage of Greek male models. What captured my attention, though, was the Greek song in the background.

Looking up a translation didn’t feel like enough — instead, the lyrics became a puzzle I was determined to solve. Although three years of poring over Greek news articles and chatting with natives online didn’t make me fluent, I realized that when you understand another language, another world opens up to you.

The environment is threatened like never before in human history, and some environmentalists worry that outdoor activities that lead to increased support for wildlife conservation are less popular among the current generation of children than staying inside and playing around on the internet. The concerns about this so-called “nature deficit disorder” have always been overblown, but it’s also important to note that you can learn a lot about wildlife and wild places from the internet!
