Ask the big questions about our Universe, our planet, life and humanity. Explore where we are going in the future and challenge your students to develop the skills and knowledge they need to get there.
David Christian explains big history, the scale of its 13.7 billion year timeline, the many approaches of knowledge it involves, and how it fits within a long-standing human tradition of telling origin stories.
Big History Project
A free, online social studies course designed for secondary schools. Not an educator? With the help of Bill Gates the Big History Project will include an open to the public version scheduled for release November, 2013.
It’s a joint effort between a group of dedicated teachers, schools, and supporters, committed to helping students develop vital skills, knowledge, and a deep, enduring passion for learning.
The Big History Project depends on an active community to continually provide feedback on how to improve the course for everyone. The Big History Project is not a commercial entity so your engagement and input will exclusively benefit teachers and students around the world.
