NEON Citizen Science Academy –  http://citizenscienceacademy.org

Would you like your learners to become Citizen Scientists and learn about
phenology and climate issues?

The NEON Citizen Science Academy offers online courses for K-12 Formal and
Informal educators wanting to incorporate citizen science into their
educational programs. Each course is completely online and generally take
10-30 hours to complete.

"Intro to Project BudBurst for Educators" provides an overview to support
implementation of Project BudBurst in a variety of educational venues.
 This course is offered in two sessions: CSA 501 was developed for
educators in formal education settings such as K-12 classrooms and
community colleges; CSA 551 was developed for educators in informal
education settings such as botanic gardens, nature preserves, and science
museums.

"Using Project BudBurst Data in an Educational Setting" is the follow-up
course in which educators learn how to use the new National Geographic
Field Scope tools to visualize and analyze Project BudBurst data through a
user-friendly, web-based interface. This course is offered as one combined
section that considers both formal and informal educational objectives.

For those interested in teacher re-certification, all of our courses can be
taken for two optional graduate-level continuing education credits from
Colorado School of Mines. For more information, please read our FAQ page at
