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, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 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" "Teen Conservation Leadership","Monterey Bay Aquarium","2010: ELG for Informal/Nonformal Education",2010,NA10SEC0080022,"$453,622","Rita Bell",California,Monterey,Monterey,CA19,"36.61813, -121.90212","2010-10-01T00:00:00 - 2013-09-30T00:00:00","Teen Conservation Leadership is a major integration and expansion of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's existing teen education programs (Student Oceanography Club, Young Women in Science and Student Guides). The project is growing and enhancing these programs through the following activities: Service Learning and Leadership Activities – including: 1) Guest Service Track: professional development and training as interpreters 2) Camp and Club Track: serving as a mentor for other participants 3) Program Track: assisting in the delivery of programs - Conservation and Science Activities, including participating in and leading projects with local organizations, and participating in technologically facilitated outdoor learning experiences – Teen Network and Technology Activities, including onsite networking and information sharing through Web 2.0 technology The project will reach 930 teens. Each teen will provide 200 service-learning hours per year. The sequential nature of this project will encourage many teens to participate for multiple years.","Fresno Chaffee Zoo, Save the Whales, Wild Farm Alliance"
