Participatory Media
Produced by TPT public television, the NSF-funded DragonflyTV is a national PBS television series that brings Dragonfly's "real kids, real science" approach to a national television audience. DragonflyTV reaches more than 1.5 million viewers every week, and has generated SciGirls, a spin-off PBS television series now in production.
Wild Reseach is designed to deepen public engagement in science and conservation at zoos, aquariums, and similar learning environments nationwide. Conducted with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and a consortium of partner zoos and aquariums, Wild Research involves families directly in research and conservation action through Wild Research stations, participatory learning media, and education programs.
Graduate Credit Workshops
Field Expeditions is a global conservation program that brings educators and scientists together at conservation hotspots in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
