Learning Through Citizen Science Course

With California State University-Bakersfield and National Geographic, Mountain to Sea Education led the development of Learning Through Citizen Science, a free, online course guiding educators first to become citizen scientists, immersing themselves in iNaturalist, Debris Tracker, and Camera Trap Citizen Science. Course participants then envisioned and designed citizen science learning for their students. Course content was created by a team of National Geographic Explorers - Dr. Kerryane Monahan, Peg Keiner, Carlos Velazco, Linda Freeman, and Dr. Shireen Rahimi, with contributions from Rachael Polmanteer, Joseph Montes de Oca, and Carmen Chavez.
