Pollination Stewardship: Engaging STEM Education for Biodiversity Enhancement in NYC

Join us on October 24, 2015 for a Citizen Science opportunity focusing on pollination and biodiversity. Discover the crucial role of pollinators in sustaining our ecosystems. Engage in hands-on STEM activities like seed growth experiments, instant data sharing through mobile apps, and garden mapping for habitat creation. Explore new resources and teacher tool kits to enhance your learning experience. Contribute to innovative projects like the Cheeto pollination experiment and the Butterfly Project Pollinator Curriculum Guide. Let's grow a wild NYC together!
