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" "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"
