Science Center Community of Practice

Working together to build science literacy

GMRI and its science center partners are developing ways to engage science center visitors in data-rich investigations of changing ecosystems using locally relevant examples. This work is centered around a community of practice, where science centers throughout the Northeast can work in collaboration to achieve a shared commitment to building climate and data literacy in their communities.

Project Goals:

  • Explore the extensibility of our approach combining global NASA data sets with local impact data.
  • Model how educational materials developed in one place can be applied anywhere.
  • Bolster the connections between science centers across the Northeast.
