Connecting Global Conservation Stories: Numbers Talk
This professional learning day is the third session in our five-workshop series that connects the Wildlife Conservation Society’s global research and conservation efforts to local classrooms. Join us at the Central Park Zoo for this event. A key shift in modern educational practices is the genuine exploration of diverse perspectives, as many current challenges demand innovative thinking for sustainable solutions. In this workshop, you will examine both successes and challenges that lead to unique opportunities for collaboration. We will focus on SEP #6: Constructing Explanations & Designing Solutions. The essence of engineering is problem-solving, which is the core of this learning experience. Think Apollo 13—“Houston, we have a problem”—and how it was resolved through brilliant engineering and quantitative reasoning!
