In this "mini PD," educators will explore Citizen Science as an approach for integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) in non-science disciplines. This workshop is geared toward both the non-science educator looking to integrate STEM and PBL within their content area, as well as the science educator looking to develop interdisciplinary projects. Participants will receive a resource kit, valued at approximately $50, designed to help them implement workshop strategies in the classroom.
The workshop will consist of (2) one-hour live sessions on Zoom, and an individual research and reflection assignment (approx. 3 hours) to be completed between the two meetings. Zoom sessions will be recorded; however live attendance at the Zoom meetings is required in order to receive a materials kit and to be eligible for PD credit (see below).
Workshop Meeting Dates:
Thursday, April 13 | 4:30-5:30PM PT
Thursday, April 20 | 4:30-5:30PM PT
This is the third and final workshop of a three-part professIonal development series - Citizen Science and Pocket Labs.

Educators who complete all three workshops in the series are eligible to register for a professional development credit through the University of Idaho. (Information about obtaining a credit will be provided during the workshop.) Workshops meet Thursday evenings from 4:30-5:30pm PT, on Zoom.
