Exploring
An explorer discovers new places. But this means more than just going somewhere new. It means studying surroundings, understanding cultures, comparing and contrasting, doing a ton of research, and communicating findings to others. This approach is what makes the Exploring Portfolio different from the Experimenting and Presenting portfolios.
Let's look at the different components.
