Collaboration Area Plan

Collaboration Area Objective:

Build awareness of and value for ESIP and data science among educators, especially in the region around Chapel Hill, NC. ... ...

Things we may do to fulfill our objectives:

In 2016, we will develop and offer two webinars and one workshop on using recreational drones for STEM education. We'll also address data management issues for drone data. At the workshop, we'll work with participants to test and refine activities, and seek funding to design an attractive, freely downloadable e-book.

Things our collaboration area needs to deliver our objectives?

(e.g. Partnerships, in-kind support, staff support)

How will others know what we are doing in & out of ESIP?
