Discover the Power of Real-World Learning

In today's fast-paced educational landscape, teachers continually seek innovative ways to inspire students and make learning more relevant. Join Pocket Lab 'Citizen Science for Your Classroom with SciStarter' on Thursday, February 13th, at 5:00 PM ET for a free professional development webinar. This engaging session focuses on harnessing the transformative power of citizen science to bring real-world research into your classroom.

Citizen science enables students to play an active role in scientific exploration and data collection, fostering a sense of responsibility and community engagement. This workshop will highlight the upcoming Citizen Science Month and provide teachers with practical approaches to integrate citizen science projects into their curricula.

One featured project showcases camera traps used by Instant Wild and National Geographic to capture images of wildlife. Participants will learn how to guide their students in observing animal behavior and supporting important conservation efforts—all while developing critical thinking and observational skills.

Education Solution Specialists (ESS) is proud to be a partner with PocketLab, providing innovative tools that transform classroom learning. PocketLab sensors enable students to engage in hands-on science experiments, instantly measuring variables such as acceleration and air quality. These resources complement citizen science initiatives and enhance student understanding of complex scientific concepts.

Our expert speakers—Emma Giles from SciStarter and Hannah Hughes from ZSL & Instant Wild—are committed to enhancing community engagement in science. They bring invaluable insights and experience to the table, ensuring that attendees leave with actionable strategies.
