Let's Take It Outside - Citizen Science for Remote Learning

Spring in Wisconsin brings us an opportunity to take remote learning outside! Citizen Science is a practical and fun way to achieve this goal. Students collect data at home and contribute to ongoing research, or create investigations of their own. In this introductory session, we will explore apps that allow students at any grade to log their observations and even identify unknown organisms using "facial" recognition. This session will take an integrated approach, looking at how we can bring in math, art, social studies, physical education and career education. Let's Take it Outside and do some STEM in the outdoors!

Open to any grade level or content area.
