Looking for a new avenue and partner for Environmental Education?  It may be right in your city or town and one that you may never think about!  Learn how a local non-profit reached out to an airport and developed one of the most creative program for students 16-20 years of age.  It is totally scholarship for the students and has touched well over 100 students and counting.  Working with 6 students at a time, three times a year, and learning about aviation is a dream reached!  Join us!

Designing Nature: Student-Built Sustainable Gardens highlights how students transformed a school courtyard into a living outdoor classroom through interdisciplinary learning and hands-on design. Agriculture, engineering, astronomy, art, and environmental science classes collaborated to plan and build a native-plant garden that supports biodiversity and sustainability. Students mapped the local watershed, created light-intensity maps using astronomy concepts, designed artistic features such as murals, and applied agricultural practices to establish healthy native plant systems. This session shares how real-world problem solving, design thinking, and cross-disciplinary collaboration empowered students to build a functional, beautiful, and sustainable space while developing scientific, technical, and creative skills.

Project Learning Tree (PLT) workshop is where you will participate in hands-on, multi-disciplinary, and STEM-focused training to integrate environmental education into your curriculum. This workshop will focus on active learning, modeling activities that encourage students to explore, discover, and communicate while meeting academic standards. Participants will leave with the guide and materials to start using PLT in their lessons.
