Science is Culture:  Understanding Power & Privilege in Community-based Research

As communities increasingly grapple with problems of resiliency and environmental health and safety, scientists who are equipped to help are needed. The Engaged Scientist project is a series of free public talks and associated workshops for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. These events aim to equip scientists with community engagement skills.

The Trout Bowl regional winners from Liberty Common High School, will attend the national Finals Competition in Corvallis, Oregon. Over the weekend, they will partake in a career night, Science Expert Briefings (mock congress presentation), educational field trips, and of course the NOSB buzzer competition. Good Luck to Liberty Common High School!

Teachers from Denver Public schools are participating in Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) storylining workshops to co-design middle and high school climate education units and a resiliency design challenge to engage students' understanding and action related to human impacts on climate change. This project is a partnership between CIRES Education Outreach and the CU School of Education and is funded by a Faculty Outreach Award from the Office for Outreach and Engagement.

The CIRES Education and Outreach staff will attend the annual CIRES Rendezvous.

The CIRES Rendezvous is a celebration of CIRES science for CIRES employees. It is not open to the public.

The heart of the Harmonics project is the creation of three exemplary units that incorporate CLEAN resources with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGGSS). A "Get Started with CLEAN" guide", lesson template planner, and supporting instructional resources are also being developed to enhance the benefits and implementation of CLEAN in teaching climate and energy education.

LOCC teacher training: a one-day workshop for teachers to learn about creative ways to learn and communicate about climate change.

A climate workshop with CU Science Discovery: a hands-on climate exploration for students in the Math Science Upward Bound program to become familiar with climate-related issues in Colorado. To be held in Trinidad, CO.

Workshop #1: a week-long filmmaking workshop for students in the Math Science Upward Bound program to explore climate-related issues and create a film about changes impacting their communities

Film screening will showcase films from the LOCC at CU Workshop #1: a week-long filmmaking workshop for students in the Math Science Upward Bound program to explore climate-related issues and create a film about changes impacting their communities
