Now through Sunday we\u2019ll be leading workshops on everything from how to engage students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) through hands-on field research, to climate change science, to citizen science and other\u00a0Mass Audubon School and Group<\/a>\u00a0topics. And we even have an interactive exhibit, complete with live animals and a tree!<\/p>\n

We excited to share our expertise, learn from other talented teachers, and spread the word about the role of environmental education in getting kids involved in science.<\/p>\n
