Over 22 centuries ago Erathostenes devised a method to determine the Earth radius. Measure your World / Mide
tu Mundo is a joint venture lead by Windows to the Universe/Ventanas al Universo in the United States of America,
EducaRed in Chile and RedEscolar in Mexico seeking to partner teams of students, teachers and parents from
the three countries in a collaborative effort to determine the Earth circumference by sharing the results of their
measurements, and exchanging cultural information. Data are collected from September 29 through October 7,
2007. A report of the whole experience will be presented.
