i-NATURE: Indigenous iNtegration of Aquatic sciences and Traditional-Ecological-Knowledge for Undergraduate culturally Responsive Education- A National Science Foundation funded program
Students are motivated and empowered by contributing to the solution of problems faced by their community. They can see how their science degrees can transform not only their lives, but also have a great impact in the economy of the region and the protection of the environment where they live. In this regard, the i-NATURE project-, place-based curriculum that includes extensive applied research experience on local problems will be definitively transformative and have lasting influence on both student and community. i-NATURE seeks to create a new model for STEM curriculum that can provide a seamless transition from high school through graduate school to the STEM workforce.
