Abstract Details

2010, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This paper reports on an internship with Project Dragonfly from May to December 2008. Project Dragonfly is a national and global learning initiative at Miami University that partners with formal and informal institutions to bring inquiry and the wonder of science to the public through innovative educational experiences. As an employee of Project Dragonfly, I participated in several different projects designed to reach the public through a variety of media, including designing a backpack that visitors can rent out to conduct investigations at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Other projects included prototyping Wild Research stations in the Zoo’s Discovery Forest and co-instructing one week of Inquiry Camp, a summer camp at the Zoo. Other responsibilities included providing administrative support and assistance with any tasks that needed completion. My involvement with Project Dragonfly provided an excellent opportunity to experience many different aspects of environmental education programming including program development, implementation and evaluation.
