I'm Krista, I've been in EE for over 15 years, and I just recently became the Direcor of EE at the Agape Center for Environmental Education in Harnettt County, North Carolina. I feel strongly that I have the best job in the world because not only do I get to play in the woods with kids all day, it keeps me young in the process. 

Nicole Ardoin is an associate professor of Environmental Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and a senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University. She was Stanford's lead researcher on the eeWORKS initiative in partnership with NAAEE. Professor Ardoin´s research focuses on environmental behavior as influenced by environmental learning and motivated by place-based connections. In particular, she is interested in considerations of geographic scale, which is an understudied yet crucial aspect of people-place relationships in a rapidly globalizing, urbanizing world. Professor Ardoin and members of her Social Ecology Lab work in collaboration with informal organizations, including museums, zoos/aquariums, parks, and residential environmental education programs, with an emphasis on using innovative, non-traditional metrics and adaptive management approaches. She is also interested in philanthropic support of environmental learning initiatives and emergent trends in the field of environmental education research.

Environmental advocate and educator dedicated to social and environmental justice, community empowerment and fostering global citizens. Working to cultivate an inclusive and safe world through connection and education.

Charissa V. Jones (she/her/hers) is the Outreach and Inclusion Coordinator for the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service Outdoor School Program and a third-year doctoral student at Oregon State University in the College of Education’s STEM Education program. She is a cultural and community connector with over 15 years of experience in outdoor and environmental education. Originally from Suriname, South America, she is interested in (re)connecting folks to their environments by exploring the intersections of EDIJA (equity, diversity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility), and environmental and outdoor education with a particular interest in exploring how culture filters community sense-making around “environment/outdoor/nature-based” and learning.

Geometry Dash Subzero is not an “easy” game. Players need to practice their reflexes, level memory and the ability to stay calm to overcome each level.

Geometry Dash Spam Test is designed as a real hand speed test, where players have to click or tap the screen continuously to keep the character in the air. If they stop or slow down a beat, the character will fall right into the spikes. This is the point that makes the game a marathon for the fingers, helping to train agility and endurance while playing.

Italian Brainrot Clicker is a meme-inspired clicker game that has quickly become popular online. With its chaotic humor, bizarre characters, and simple tapping mechanics, it offers players a funny and addictive way to pass the time.

Block Blast is a tool for unwinding. The simple, satisfying "pop" of cleared blocks, combined with a calming visual and auditory design, creates a stress-relieving atmosphere. The ability to play offline is a significant benefit, making it a perfect companion for commutes, travel, or any time a player needs a quick mental break without an internet connection.

As a music student that's minoring in environmental science, I see it as necessary to preserve environments to mantain both ecological balance as well as respect the intrinsic aesthetic value in them. 

Space Waves is an emotional journey through space. Each wave of light, each sweep through the galaxy makes me feel like I am living in a cosmic symphony.

Candy Clicker takes players to the sweet world of candy, where each of your clicks will bring more and more candy. Combined with power-ups to increase the value of your clicks.

Racing Limits simulates vivid sounds. The sound of the car engine accelerating, the sound of the brakes screeching when stopping suddenly.

I am an experienced educator with over eight years of expertise in teaching Biology and Environmental Science, and a strong background in non-traditional education and event management. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Science in Event Management from Johnson & Wales University, and I am excited to share that I completed my Master’s in Natural Resources at Virginia Tech this past fall.

In my teaching career, I have consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional education by creating immersive and hands-on learning experiences. This innovative approach engages students and helps them grasp complex concepts through practical activities, such as monitoring the needs of an organism or simulating wildlife interactions in a game reserve.

My career also encompasses significant experience in program development and event management, where I have successfully organized and executed educational initiatives that resonate with diverse audiences. My skills in logistics, vendor management, and on-site execution ensure that I deliver impactful events that meet and exceed expectations.
