2022 LTER All Scientists' Meeting

This networking session will focus on sharing sites’ easy and effective community engagement activities. The intended audience includes education and outreach coordinators, graduate students and PIs looking to try something new at their sites. Presenters will bring a detailed example of a successful activity that they use at their site. These broadly applicable ideas are shared with attendees via a Speed Dating style event where attendees rotate among presenters, getting an overview of the activity and a one-pager to take home. Examples of featured activities: Chronolog; Tempestry; The Virtual Field; extension activities for LTER children’s books; CODAP; videos and remote learning resources; and Data Nuggets. We will work with the LTER Network office to create a website resource featuring example activities. We hope that this workshop will lead to new cross-site collaboration and equip participants with new ideas for their site’s “broader impacts” work.
