Are you an educator in Maine interested in engaging youth in observing and assessing the impacts of sea level rise and coastal flooding in your community? Come join us for a day-long professional learning experience focused on resources and lessons that support groups of students and community members in collecting data and making observations during high tides and storms. This data helps improve National Weather Service flood forecasts and advisories in local communities, identifies locations vulnerable to flooding, and helps local emergency managers and decision-makers plan for coastal resilience.

During this full day workshop, we will:

• Experience NGSS-aligned classroom resources that support learning about sea level rise, build data literacy, and engage youth in community conversations about coastal resilience.
• Gain confidence and field work skills in the coastal flooding data collection protocol and data contribution.
• Connect with others in the area who are excited to support engagement with the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project.

Lunch and mileage reimbursement is provided for all participants. Sub-reimbursement is available upon request for classroom teachers participating in the workshop.
