Are you an educator interested in engaging youth in assessing the impacts of coastal flooding in your community and informing local action? Join us for a professional learning experience that includes educators, scientists, and local leaders all committed to supporting the next generation of decisionmakers. During this session, we will collect and analyze data on local flood impacts. This data will also be shared with the National Weather Service to improve flood forecasts and advisories in local communities. Then, we will explore resilience options using a game designed for students and community members and discuss opportunities for youth to contribute to local decisionmaking.

During this workshop, we will:

• Experience NGSS aligned classroom resources that support engaging youth in the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project
• Gain confidence and field work skills in the coastal flooding data collection protocol and data contribution.
• Connect with others in the area who are excited to youth engagement local resilience efforts

Participants will receive a $125 stipend, lunch, mileage reimbursements, and contact hours.
