Educator Workshop: Coastal Flooding Community Science -Southern Maine
4 PMโ7 PM | University of New England - Biddeford Campus | PublicLearn about and experience activities and resources to engage youth in learning about sea level rise and the impacts of coastal flooding.

Are you an educator in Maine or New Hampshire 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 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 workshop, we will:
- Experience NGSS-aligned classroom resources that support engaging youth in the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project
- 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.
Participants will receive a $75 stipend, dinner, mileage reimbursements, and contact hours.
