Aquatic Explorers, from Creeks to Coast: Algae-Climate-Community Connection
Our art and science collaboration in this environmental project integrates new approaches to interdisciplinary informal science learning with field-based climate science for K-12 students and community participants to advance methods of discovery and understanding around the human-ecology-climate connection. The programmatic theme of Aquatic Explorers and the project’s use of mentoring by university STREM+Art Ambassadors will empower underrepresented STEM learners to see themselves as climate and algal scientists, while measuring the impact of interdisciplinary STEM on future engagement in those disciplines.
