DESCRIPTION:Call for Applications!\nRegistration/Application Deadline: January 31\, 2022\nEvent Dates: June and July 2022. See below for more details\nEvent location: Marquette and Alpena\, MI\nIntended Audience: 4th-12th grade educators\, non-formal educators\n\n\n\nTen educators\, three researchers\, 15 crew\, and one 180-foot boat\nIn June and July 2022\, 10 educators will set sail aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Lake Guardian\, a vessel owned by the United States Environmental Protection Agency\, and conduct research alongside scientists. During the seven day workshop\, educators network with one another\, scientists\, R/V Lake Guardian crew\, and Sea Grant staff. Educators work in small teams with a scientist to develop research questions\, collect field samples\, conduct lab analysis\, and generate data to analyze\, visualize\, and interpret. The workshops typically include two shore stops for educational field trips about locally relevant Great Lakes topics. A primary goal of the workshop is to increase Great Lakes Literacy among the participants. After the workshop\, participants will be better able to: \n\nUnderstand the essential principles and fundamental concepts about the characteristics\, functions\, and value of the Great Lakes.\nCommunicate accurately about the Great Lakes’ influence on systems and people in and beyond their watershed.\nMake informed and responsible decisions regarding the Great Lakes and the resources of their watershed.\n\nWords from previous workshop participants\nTo learn more about the workshops from educators’ perspectives\, read the 2017 Lake Huron Blog and 2016 Lake Superior Blog and visit this story map.  The R/V Lake Guardian usually works on one Great Lake each year\, so the last time the R/V Lake Guardian workshop was held on these two lakes was five and six years ago. 2022 is a special year because two educator workshops are being held on two Great Lakes. \nOne Summer\, Two Workshops\nLake Superior Workshop details:\n\nWho: 4th-12th grade teachers and non-formal educators in the Great Lakes States of Indiana\, Illinois\, Minnesota\, Michigan\, New York\, Ohio\, Pennsylvania\, and Wisconsin.\nWhat: Ten educators will be selected to participate in a week-long research-focused workshop aboard the United States Environmental Agency’s research vessel\, R/V Lake Guardian.\nWhere: Participants will board the ship in Marquette\, Michigan to conduct research on Lake Superior.
