Greetings InTeGrate Community Members -

We wanted to make you aware of important updates and deadlines:

Food-Energy-Water Session at the GSA 2020 Annual Meeting

This year's GSA annual meeting will include T241. Geoscience Education in the Food-Energy-Water-Nexus: Transdisciplinary Capacity-Building through Networked Improvement Communities (Posters). This session is led by Cory Forbes, Nicole Colston, Aida Farough, and Kathleen Quardokus Fisher. This session leverages a FEW-Nexus perspective on education and education research, highlighting the National Collaborative for Research on Food, Energy, and Water Education and related educational programs, theory, and research within the GSA community. The session will provide a productive context for showcasing InTeGrate materials and related work focused on food, energy, and/or water education efforts. This session affords an engaging context for individuals from the geo ed, GER, and NC-FEW communities to learn about others' work and ongoing opportunities for continued research and development in this domain. Abstract submissions that focus on FEW-focused programs for K-12 audiences, informal/non-formal contexts, graduate education, and members of the public, are encouraged.

Teaching Computation Online with MATLAB

The sixth annual Teaching Computation with MATLAB workshop is moving online! At this faculty-led workshop, educators in Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Geoscience, Math, Physics, and allied fields will develop MATLAB related curriculum while sharing strategies, tools, and challenges teaching computational courses in in-person and online settings. This is an opportunity to expand your skills in supporting learning around the InTeGrate theme of working hands-on with data. Workshop activities will feature: discussions on best practices for building computational thinking skills, sharing of effective educator-developed classroom activities, online tools for teaching and grading, opportunities to work in small groups on teaching activities and course design, and talks from MATLAB experts. Apply to participate in the online workshop by July 31, 2020.
