Visualize change and learn ways you and your team can engage audiences with topics of climate and ocean change using narratives with global data visuals and best practices based on targeted social and cognitive research.

When, Where, and Who

• March 10 - Pacific Science Center, Seattle, WA – Nicole Killebrew n.killebrew@seattleaquarium.org
• April 8 - Exploratorium, San Francisco, CA - Mary Miller mmiller@exploratorium. edu

What

You can expect to gain:

• Four visual narratives, suitable to be used on a spherical screen (such as Science on a Sphere®, Magic Planet®, or HyperGlobe®), flat screen, or handheld tablet.
• Theory, based on social and cognitive sciences, used to develop the visual narratives.
• Opportunities to practice and models for training other colleagues to use these materials.
• A toolkit to take back to your institution - including the four visual narratives, background information about the theoretical basis for each narrative, relevant climate and ocean science information and videos that illustrate each visual narrative being used by an educator.

About Visualizing Change: Training and Tools to support Informal Educators

Visualizing Change is a 3-year grant funded by NOAA’s Office of Education to help build capacity in the informal science education field to more effectively use global data sets to communicate about climate change, its impact on coastal zones and marine life and how people are working to use scientific information to shape our world.

This is a FREE one-day workshop.  Lunch will be provided.  Participants are responsible for travel and parking costs.
