Field Studies in China

Geography teachers and graduates worldwide know the many varied struggles of conducting research. Our field studies in China are a great way for students of science to get hands on experience with the reality of data collection and analysis. We offer a range of Geography field studies programs in a variety of locations across China, Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific. Each program is tailored to your specific needs, with consideration taken for: classroom integration, program aims, and curriculum.

Currently our programs include: 

Field studies programs can also work as a micro campusing setup where the class carries on out of school for an extended period of time. Keep reading for more information on our range of field studies programmes.

Environmental science studies

Our China ESS fieldwork programs are carefully made together with teachers and advisors from schools to create the best field and classroom links possible. We will do site visits for you, sharing photos, videos, and detailed location data which is perfect for use in a variety of coursework or review once you get back to the classroom. This includes: geo data files for google earth/gaia GPS, pins for open street map, and other critical information for effective data analysis.

An open source 3d printed flow meter for geography river studies

Open source DIY flow meter

At Zen Quest Adventures, we want everyone to have access to the tools they need in order to get the most possible out of our programmes. Thus, we designed, prototyped and built an open source flow meter to measure water speed in rivers. The current build shows water speed in Km/h and costs about 60USD for all the parts (a typical off the shelf unit will cost about USD1000). Flow meters are great tools for river surveys but are often prohibitively expensive, especially for secondary schools and field studies centres. LabQuest has somewhat of a monopoly on these sensors for use in schools and we think its high time there is an easy to make, low cost and hackable solution for these tools.
