Join the WaterInsights team for an interactive workshop on environmental awareness and citizen science. In this session, we will begin by watching a short film from the Peabody Award-winning documentary Inventing Tomorrow. Sahithi Pingali – one of the stars of the movie – will facilitate a brainstorm about local environmental issues and possible solutions. We will reflect on the process of science, and the value of community-driven action. At the end of the session, everyone will receive a WaterInsights testing kit and start engaging in citizen science in their community!
Jessica Bean is the leader of the Understanding Global Change Project at the Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley. She designs tools for learning about the Earth as a dynamic, interconnected system. Jessica studies the effects of environmental change along the California coast, has taught college and graduate level biology and Earth science courses, and partners with K-12 educators to develop and implement new tools for learning about the nature of science and climate change.
Sahithi Pingali is the founder and CEO of WaterInsights, a non-profit that uses citizen science to increase environmental awareness and crowdsource large-scale water quality data.
