Speaker: Chris Skowronski, Inventing Tomorrow Ambassador

The Inventing Tomorrow Teacher Workshop equipped teachers with learning resources and video content, which are based on the Peabody Award-winning PBS film Inventing Tomorrow, for in-person or online learning centered on the exploration of environmental problems and the process of science. This 60-minute training empowered teachers to help students engage in collaborative work, participate in citizen science, and explore local issues in their community all while developing students’ ability to think about the interconnected nature of Earth’s systems. Participants in the Inventing Tomorrow Teacher Workshop were introduced to the learning modules, lessons, activities, and engaged with free tools available to them for teaching science.
