Abstract

CIRES Center for Education, Engagement and Evaluation (CEEE) connects science with educators, learners and communities. We strive to make research data accessible, inspire environmental action and empower curiosity and scientific engagement. We provide accessible, high-quality environmental science curriculum and informal learning experiences, as well as meaningful professional and career development opportunities. We are also home to the CIRES Climate Science Engagement Lead. The CEEE supports CIRES and NOAA researchers in broadening the reach of their science. The CEEE team can assist in developing education and outreach plans, conducting project evaluation or educational research, and providing outreach and mentor training for scientists. We have curriculum developers, scientists, former classroom teachers, educators, evaluators, educational researchers, a videographer, and a graphic designer, and we are deeply embedded in the Earth systems and polar science education community. Partnering with our team of professionals for the broader impact component of your next science proposal may give your proposal an edge in the competitive funding environment. In addition, CEEE manages projects that offer engagement and mentoring opportunities for CIRES and NOAA researchers, including early-career scientists, to serve as expert reviewers, volunteers, presenters, and partners. Our projects benefit communities, teachers, students, and the public by providing research opportunities for students and educators, developing new research-based curriculum and creating opportunities for public engagement in current science. This poster showcases CEEE projects, a menu for Broader Impact efforts, ways to collaborate and partner and describes the expertise that CEEE can bring to your project.
