Session description

Partnering with the National Aviary transforms 3rd-grade STEAM by connecting classrooms with community institutions. Students create "enrichment" for their real bird clients to enjoy. This standards-based project fosters creativity, problem-solving, and environmental literacy while giving educators practical strategies to spark curiosity and build impactful community partnerships.

Outline

This poster will showcase an overview of the Aviary Alliance Project completed with third grade students. This poster will include descriptions, research tools, a project progression flowchart, project photos, final project reveals, and links to access this information at later times. Presenters will speak one-on-one with visitors, explaining various points and goals of the project. Attendees will be given the opportunity to share their own experiences and ideas when working with local groups and receive feedback for future projects.

Interaction will be continuous throughout the scheduled block. Attendees can peruse the poster or have conversations with the presenters to engage further with the content.

Individual conversations will be the main form of engagement, personalizing the content to match the needs or ideas of the viewers. There will also be interactive media that can be accessed at a later time. Finally, there is the opportunity for future planning and collaboration through a optional contact form, as well as a guest book peer-sharing platform.
