FOR THE PUBLIC
WALII's outreach goals are to engage with K-12 teachers and students from underserved communities and members of the public to demystify science and involve citizens in scientific efforts.
Our initiatives will include developing a Beal-style seed longevity citizen science experiment lesson plan in conjunction with Washington D.C. teachers and an expansion of the International Society of Tardigrade Hunters project to enable participants to take photos of the microscopic animals using Foldscopes connected to smartphones.
