Particular emphasis was placed on the preparation and application of interdisciplinary tasks in the project.
Each team participated in 20 stages of the journey (three tasks for 20 weeks). An additional task for the teams was to create a blog with a virtual tour.
Three teams that won the most points went to the finals of the competition. The first final was held in mid-May 2011. The teams were solving tests using INTERACTIVE set.
