Webinar Series: Teaching with EMERGE & GLOBE Mission Mosquito

This two-part webinar is designed for educators who want to bring coding and citizen science to their learners. Learn how GLOBE is teaming up with EMERGE , a Florida-based but widely adaptable project that turns those data into insights about mosquito-borne disease risk. Register for these upcoming webinars :

• Session 1 | 17 September, 6 pm ET (22:00 UTC): Learn how students can collect mosquito habitat and land cover data with the free GLOBE Observer app, and then complete a guided coding assignment to visualize those observations on maps and explore connections with NASA satellite data. Very friendly environment for people who haven't coded before.
• Session 2 | 24 September, 6 pm ET (22:00 UTC): Participants will regroup to review the coding assignment—troubleshoot issues, share sample outputs, and discuss strategies for adapting the lesson in classrooms, afterschool programs, and libraries.
