Featured Multi-day Workshops

The multi-day morning workshop program is open for registration on a first-come, first-serve basis (workshop size is limited based on room capacity).

Monday-Wednesday

Bringing visual groundwater teaching tools and field experiences into K-12 teaching
Develop a deeper understanding of the importance of groundwater as a critical water resource and integrate groundwater-related materials into your existing curricula. This workshop includes hands-on activities with visual groundwater teaching tools and a field trip to groundwater research and teaching site on the UMN campus.
Accessible and Equitable: Using Universal Design for Learning in Earth Science Learning Spaces
This workshop will provide examples of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Inclusive Design for Learning (IDL) in formal and informal learning spaces, including the K-12 classroom, university classroom, professional organization content and venues, and field experiences.

Thursday-Friday

Perception Science + Real-World Data + Data Visualization = Enhancing Students' Data Analysis & Interpretation
Participants in this workshop will explore how utilizing online data portals' quick graph features for initial data exploration can help break down the black box of data for students, and how to leverage these features more effectively in students' Exploratory Data Analysis.
Teaching atmosphere, ocean, and planetary fluid dynamic fundamentals vividly with rotating tanks
The dynamics of weather, oceanographic, and climate processes are often difficult for students (and teachers!) to conceptualize. In this workshop, participants will gain hands-on knowledge using simple rotating tank experiments to create vivid, lively, small scale models of these geophysical fluid systems.
