--> Classroom educators will gain skills in designing inquiry-based outdoor learning experiences applicable for both in-person and virtual/remote learning environments. They will also learn about the plethora of resources available from NGS as well as the educator certification program.
--> Non-formal educators will learn how to deliver inquiry-based geography instruction through their programming and provide support for classroom educators.
--> As a result of bringing this experience to the classroom, students will develop spatial awareness and geographical skills through classroom- and field-based experiences using technology tools, such as iNaturalist, SiftR, and Agents of Discovery and develop scientific and reasoning skills through participation in a bioblitz.
