Interactive versions of the visualizations will also be disseminated via the AMNH website. Visualization assets will be distributed to NOAA for utilization on climate.gov and Science on a Sphere. The creation of training programs and educational materials for informal education professionals will enhance the experience and efficacy of the data visualizations as tools to understand and build stewardship of Earth systems.","Institute for Learning Innovation, Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) Chicago, New York University (NYU), NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) / Climate Prediction Center, NOAA Research, NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, NYU Center for Advanced Digital Applications" "Worldviews Network: Ecological Literacy Programming for Digital Planetariums and Beyond","Denver Museum of Nature and Science","2010: ELG for Informal/Nonformal Education",2010,NA10SEC0080011,"$850,314","Ka Chun Yu",Colorado,Denver,Denver,CO01,"39.74752, -104.94087","2010-10-01T00:00:00 - 2014-09-30T00:00:00","The Worldviews Network - a collaboration of institutions that have pioneered Earth systems research, education and evaluation methods - is creating innovative approaches for engaging the American public in dialogues about human-induced global changes. Leveraging the power of immersive scientific visualization environments at informal science centers across the US, we are developing transformative educational processes that integrate the benefits of visual thinking, systems thinking, and design thinking. This ""seeing, knowing, doing"" approach empowers educators with tools and techniques that help audiences to visualize, comprehend, and address complex issues from a whole-systems perspective. The Worldviews Network will make explicit the interconnections of Earth’s life support systems across time and space as well as inspire community participation in design processes by providing real-world examples of successful projects that are increasing the healthy functioning of regional and global ecosystems","American Museum of Natural History, California Academy of Sciences, Institute for Learning Innovation, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, NASA Ames Exploration Center, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Bell Museum, Elumenati, Journey Museum & Learning Center, University of Michigan / Museum of Natural History, University of North Carolina at Asheville, WGBH Educational Foundation, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) National Center for Atmospheric Research, Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, Colorado State University / Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)"
