Project day at Aqaba International School, Aqaba, Jordan

Located along the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea and just a two hour drive to PETRA, Aqaba and its students were excited about having a local candidate for the New7Wonders of the World.

That year students in several of the Social Studies and Geography classes at Aqaba International School had painted delightful VOTE FOR PETRA posters. Students wanted to share their enthusiasm for Petra with the New7Wonders website.

Project Day at Clayton Middle School, Clayton, NC, USA

The Global Connections elective class at Clayton Middle School conducted a school-wide vote for the top New7Wonders. Each students became a campaign manager for a specific candidate and researched their site, as well as the country it is located in. See below to learn more about their presentations.

Each of the "campaign managers" created campaign posters, PowerPoint presentations, board games, and models of their candidates. They cast a school-wide vote lasting 7 days. Voting was done in school, as well as online. The students tallied votes and won prizes if their candidate made it to the top 7. The votes were counted and over 1700 votes were cast. The 50 staff members and 800 students were very excited. The school is very proud to be part of history.
