WHAT IS THE BOB PROJECT?
I'm Mrs. Yurko and I started The Bob Project with my husband as a fun way to document our travels around the world. The plan was to take Bob on all of our trips and take his photo in each locale. 'Bob' is a small bendable toy with a big smile on his face and we thought he would make the perfect traveling companion for us. Well, except for one little thing ... he needed clothes! For his first trip I gathered some scrap fabrics and made him the cutest little ski outfit, complete with a scarf and beanie. I propped him up in the snow and took his first traveling picture in Durango, CO.
I shared his first photo with my students and they asked if they could take Bob places too. Why not? And just like that "The Bob Project" was born! Now Bob travels the world with teachers, kiddos and their families to new places almost every week!

I don't go to your school, how can i get involved?
Start your own traveling project! The Bob Project is all about showing kids that there is so much more in the world beyond their city. Bob introduces them to new places, cultures and ideas. It's about connecting something they can tangibly see and care about to another part of the world. The Bob Project could go by any name, be creative and have fun!
