  Greenfield Community Science Workshop

  Jul 2024 - now

  "Chinampa" Aquaponics Exhibit Coordinator

  Receive funding through the Cardinal Quarter Fellowship to work with the Greenfield CSW. Design and construct an accessible educational aquaponics exhibit meant to engage Greenfield community members in biology/science education. The exhibit aims to educate about the science involved in aquaponics and the cultural connection to traditional Native Mesoamerican aquaponic systems (chinampas).Use the BioJam Program curriculum as a foundation and design an activity module for use in a local Summer school program. The module involves students constructing personal miniature chinampa-in-a-jar crafts.Mentor a high school intern on how to effectively work with community members when co-designing iniatives for public service.
