NSF Biocomplexity Project: Education Projects… Rob Buirgy, Thompson School District, Loveland, CO

The Original Education Vision… “We will share our approach with students, educators, researchers, and local planners through seminars, workshops, and conferences by use of case studies and comparative network applications.”

The Project Description… Criterion Two- Broader Impacts: Our proposed research has several integrated educational and policy components. In terms of education, three high school teacher workshops will demonstrate the use of web based GIS models to actively engage high school seniors (and their teachers) in Puerto Rico and Colorado in biocomplexity research.

Education Challenges… Biocomplexity is a ‘complex’ topic Non-standardized comparisons are difficult Cultural differences are challenging

Education Challenges… Biocomplexity is a ‘complex’ topic Non-standardized comparisons are difficult Cultural differences are challenging Multiple goals are hard to pin down

Education Approach… Key Considerations: Accessibility Relevance Educational Cultural Transferability Feasibility

Education Proposal… Deliverables: 1. Description and access to information databases for BT and PR watersheds 2. Standardized template for “State of the Watershed” report (Murphy, USGS) 3. Classroom activities: data collection, GIS projects, virtual tours and field site visits 4. Watershed assessments based on “State of the Watershed” reports for BT and PR 5. Biocomplexity education webpage 6. GIS- and web-based watershed assessment projects 7. Summer workshops to encourage collaboration between BT and PR teachers
