Sep 2016 - Aug 2017
Graduate RA for a National Science Foundation sponsored project on Arctic Urban Sustainability. We are creating a "curriculum" that will look at three lines of inquiry to develop global competencies, environmental literacy, and overall engagement in school. We are connecting teachers from Arctic cities to teachers in DC in order to collaborate and broaden perspective. Students are required to find something in their city that they like and share a selfie, then find an environmental problem and share a selfie, and lastly, share a selfie of some environmental solutions. 60 second selfie videos will be sent to other students and classrooms around the world to generate discussions.
