CIRES Education and Outreach will host the 18th annual Trout Bowl. The Trout Bowl is one of 25 regional competitions of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, an academic competition for high school students. We accept 12 teams of 4-5 students from high schools in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska, and Montana.
Come join us for a lunchtime film screening!
The Lens on Climate Change helps middle and high school students explore the effects of climatic changes on their lives and communities through film production. The short films in our showcase are developed and filmed entirely by students with the help of mentors from CU and the Colorado Film School.
This event is free and open to the public.
Refreshments will be served prior to the screening.
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.
