Stefan Jensen
Stefan Jensen completed an 8-month, 6,000 mile pedal bicycle trip from Mexico to Argentina in 2010. As a volunteer for a Chicago-based nonprofit, Reach the World, he wrote weekly social studies and science curricula based on the trip (including how volcanoes and canyons form, of course) for 3000+ underserved Chicago Public School students. Read the Take a Bike story.
He then spent the summer working as a field assistant and camp cook for Francesca McInerney's research group at their Bighorn Basin field camp.
